Jonge vrouwen met een takkenbossen en een bosgezicht c. 1884 - 1887

This pencil sketch, "Jonge vrouwen met een takkenbossen en een bosgezicht" (Young women with bundles of branches and a forest face), was created by Willem Witsen between 1884 and 1887. The artwork depicts two figures, possibly women, framed by a dense network of branches. The sketch is characteristic of Witsen's early style, characterized by loose lines and a focus on capturing the essence of the subject. The piece is a testament to Witsen's mastery of drawing, with the delicate lines suggesting the weight and texture of the branches while also conveying a sense of depth and movement. This work is housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcasing the breadth of Witsen's artistic output.
