Zittende man en vrouw en een open deur c. 1840 - 1860

This pencil sketch by Dutch artist Charles Rochussen, dated c. 1840-1860, is a study for a larger composition. It depicts a man and woman seated, likely in a garden setting, with a partially open doorway leading to a verdant landscape with trees and a fence. The figures are rendered with delicate lines, capturing a sense of intimacy and stillness. Rochussen's mastery of drawing is evident in this work, which showcases his ability to convey form and space with precision.
