Zittende vrouw 1841

"Zittende vrouw" (Sitting Woman), a graphite drawing by Pieter van Loon, is a study of a seated woman in traditional Dutch dress. The artwork, dated 1841, showcases van Loon's ability to capture realistic details in a simple yet expressive manner. The woman's pose, her clothing, and the basket at her feet all contribute to a sense of everyday life in 19th-century Netherlands. This drawing, now in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to van Loon's mastery of pencil and his keen observation of human figures.
