"Vrouw bij een kar" (Woman by a Cart) is a pencil drawing by Cornelis Springer, a Dutch artist known for his landscapes and genre scenes. This quick sketch, dating from around 1860-1866, depicts a woman standing beside a cart. The artist's loose lines and simple composition capture a moment of everyday life, highlighting the figure's interaction with the cart. This drawing, now in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into Springer's observational skills and his ability to capture the essence of a subject with minimal detail.
