Staande vrouw met een bos graan c. 1788 - 1841

This red chalk drawing, "Staande vrouw met een bos graan" by Abraham Johannes Ruytenschildt, depicts a woman standing with her back to the viewer, holding a bundle of grain. The woman's dress and the sheaf of wheat are rendered in detailed lines, suggesting the artist's interest in capturing the textures and forms of the subject matter. This work exemplifies the Dutch artist's practice of depicting everyday scenes and figures, and the drawing's realistic style is characteristic of the late 18th and early 19th century.
