Handwerkende boerenvrouw zittend op een houten stoel 1854 - 1914

This charcoal sketch by Albert Neuhuys, titled "Handwerkende boerenvrouw zittend op een houten stoel" (Working Peasant Woman Sitting on a Wooden Chair), is a study for a larger painting. The hazy lines and loose strokes suggest a quick, informal observation of a woman at work. The subject, captured in a fleeting moment, embodies Neuhuys's interest in depicting the lives of ordinary people in the Netherlands. This drawing, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a glimpse into the artist's creative process, revealing his approach to capturing everyday life.
