Lezende vrouw zittend voor een boom 1865 - 1913

"Lezende vrouw zittend voor een boom" (Reading Woman Sitting in Front of a Tree) is a charcoal sketch by Bramine Hubrecht, created between 1865 and 1913. The drawing depicts a woman, likely a young girl, seated with her back to the viewer, her head bent over what seems to be a book. The sketch is a quick study with loose, expressive lines, characteristic of Hubrecht's style. Though the subject is not fully rendered, the woman's focused posture and the suggestive presence of a tree create a sense of quiet contemplation. The work, part of the Rijksmuseum collection, provides a glimpse into Hubrecht's artistic process and his interest in capturing fleeting moments of everyday life.
