This simple yet expressive charcoal drawing, housed at the Rijksmuseum, captures the essence of two women in a fleeting moment. The delicate lines and soft shading evoke a sense of intimacy and suggest a possible connection between the subjects. The artist's skill in capturing form and movement through a few strokes is evident in this study, offering a glimpse into his creative process.
