De Reuk 1783 - 1833

"De Reuk" is a red chalk drawing by Bernard Picart, a Dutch artist, who worked in the early 18th century. The artwork depicts two figures in an oval frame, showcasing the artist's skill in capturing the human form. The delicate lines and subtle shading of the drawing create a sense of intimacy and suggest a narrative of two women interacting. This small-scale work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into Picart's artistic process and his exploration of human relationships.
