This charcoal drawing by Gabriel Metsu, a prominent Dutch Golden Age painter, depicts a woman in a simple dress and a headscarf, possibly engaged in a domestic task. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the subtle shading of the woman's figure and the folds of her garment, emphasizing the realism that characterized his work. The drawing, likely a preparatory study for a larger painting, offers a glimpse into Metsu's creative process and his interest in capturing the daily life of ordinary people. The drawing is currently housed at the Städel Museum, a renowned art institution in Frankfurt, Germany.
