Stillevens met een duif, kelk en diverse voorwerpen c. 1856 - 1870

"Stillevens met een duif, kelk en diverse voorwerpen" is a pencil sketch by Maria Vos, a Dutch artist known for her detailed still life paintings. This particular work, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a study for a larger composition, likely one of her still lifes featuring objects like doves, chalices, and other everyday items. The sketch's gestural lines and rough outlines reveal Vos's process of composition and her masterful handling of light and shadow. The blurred and undefined forms in the sketch convey a sense of movement and spontaneity, adding to the overall impact of the piece.
