Ontwerp voor wandschildering in de Beurs van Berlage: staande vrouw met getrokken zwaard 1869 - 1925

This pencil sketch by Antoon Derkinderen, dated between 1869 and 1925, is a design for a mural depicting a standing woman with a drawn sword. The artwork, measuring 220 mm in height and 172 mm in width, shows the woman in a flowing robe, her posture conveying strength and determination. The sketch's delicate lines suggest a study for a larger, more elaborate mural, possibly intended for the Beurs van Berlage, a famous stock exchange building in Amsterdam. The work exemplifies Derkinderen's interest in classical and allegorical themes, often explored through his drawings and illustrations.
