Vrouw in een japon 1710 - 1772

"Vrouw in een japon" is a red chalk drawing by the Dutch artist Petrus Johannes van Reysschoot, completed between 1710 and 1772. The drawing depicts a woman in a gown, likely a study for a larger composition. The artist's focus on capturing the drapery and the woman's pose suggests a refined style typical of the Rococo period, a stylistic movement that emphasized elegance and grace. Van Reysschoot's drawing showcases his mastery of line and his ability to create a sense of volume and texture through subtle shading. This artwork is a testament to the artist's skill and provides insight into the artistic practices of the 18th century.
