Man zittend op een stoel met een meisje op schoot 1874

This 1874 pencil sketch by George Clausen depicts a man seated on a chair with a young girl in his lap. The loose, gestural lines suggest a quick study, possibly a preliminary sketch for a larger work. Clausen was a prominent British realist painter and known for his sensitive portrayal of everyday life. This sketch exemplifies the artist's ability to capture the essence of a fleeting moment. The inscription, "John Innes, Mrs Innes, & daughter," offers insight into the identities of the subjects, hinting at a potential familial portrait.
