Caféterrasje 1871 - 1906

"Caféterrasje" (1871-1906) is a pastel drawing by Dutch artist Pieter de Josselin de Jong, known for his impressionistic style. The artwork depicts a woman seated at a cafe terrace, suggesting a casual outdoor scene, perhaps a moment of rest or observation. The loose and expressive strokes of pastel create a sense of movement and light, characteristic of Impressionist aesthetics. The drawing is housed in the Rijksmuseum, offering a glimpse into De Jong's artistic practice and the popular subject of everyday life in late 19th-century Europe.
