In de wind lopende figuren op een rij Possibly 1648

"In de wind lopende figuren op een rij" (Figures Walking in the Wind in a Row) is a drawing by Dutch Golden Age painter Harmen ter Borch, dated possibly 1648. The drawing, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, depicts a procession of figures in various poses, their garments billowing in the wind. Ter Borch's characteristic use of quick, delicate lines captures the movement of the figures and their clothing, showcasing his mastery of capturing the fleeting moments of everyday life. This is an example of preparatory work, perhaps for a larger painting or commission.
