Liggend meisje 1849 - 1917

"Liggend meisje" (Reclining Girl) is a simple pencil sketch by Matthijs Maris, a prominent Dutch artist known for his melancholic and symbolic works. This drawing, created sometime between 1849 and 1917, features a figure lying down with their head turned away, the soft lines suggesting a sense of vulnerability and introspection. This piece, now held at the Rijksmuseum, captures Maris’s signature style of minimalist details and evocative composition, hinting at deeper emotions and psychological states.
