Johannes Tavenraat's "Vrouw in een lange mantel en kap, uit verschillende aanzichten gezien" (1840) is a study of a woman in various poses. The Dutch artist captured the subject's form from different angles, showcasing her in a standing pose and seated, each with a long cloak and distinctive head covering. This detailed drawing provides insights into the attire and posture of women in 19th-century Netherlands, creating a visual record of everyday life. Tavenraat, known for his realistic depictions, employed a combination of pencil and watercolor to create a nuanced and evocative portrayal of his subject. The work is housed at the Rijksmuseum.
