Handwerkende oude vrouw 1854 - 1914

"Handwerkende oude vrouw" is a charcoal drawing by Albert Neuhuys, a prominent Dutch painter known for his genre scenes. Created between 1854 and 1914, it depicts a woman engaged in some form of manual labor. The loose strokes and sketchy lines suggest a quick study, capturing the essence of the figure rather than precise details. This drawing, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Neuhuys' interest in portraying everyday life and the working class, reflecting a shift in artistic focus towards realism in 19th-century Dutch art.
