Couple in Garden 1640s

"Couple in Garden" is a brown ink drawing created by Dutch artist Jan Thomas in the 1640s. The artwork depicts a man and a woman standing in a garden. The man, wearing a hat and a coat, is reaching towards the woman. She is dressed in a long gown and holds flowers in her hand. The drawing, currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is a small work at only 6 9/16 x 5 7/8 inches. The loose and gestural style of the drawing is characteristic of Thomas's work, which often focused on everyday life and intimate scenes. This drawing showcases the artist’s ability to capture the beauty and emotion of a simple moment.
