Vier vrouwen op een bankstel 1869 - 1936

"Vier vrouwen op een bankstel" is a pen and ink drawing by Dutch artist Theodorus Henricus Kerstel, created between 1869 and 1936. This work depicts four women sitting on a sofa, their faces and poses suggesting a conversation in progress. The drawing, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a small-scale work, measuring only 63mm in height and 77mm in width. The simple yet expressive lines of Kerstel's drawing capture a moment of intimate social interaction. The work is a fine example of the artist's skill in capturing the essence of human connection through quick and expressive strokes.
