Twee meisjes zingen van bladmuziek 1877 - 1909

"Twee meisjes zingen van bladmuziek," or "Two girls singing from sheet music," is an etching created between 1877 and 1909 by Dutch artist Louise Danse. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts two young women standing side by side, one holding a book of sheet music and the other appearing to sing along. The composition highlights the intimate bond between the figures through their close proximity and the shared focus on the music. Danse's distinctive style is evident in the delicate lines and subtle shading that bring depth and detail to the drawing. The artwork captures a fleeting moment of musical expression and serves as a testament to Danse's mastery of etching techniques and her ability to convey emotion through subtle gestures.
