Waterput met een afdak 1871

"Waterput met een afdak" (Well with a roof), a pencil sketch created by Maria Vos in 1871, is a quick study of a well with a simple roof structure. The artist, known for her detailed drawings and watercolors, captures the essence of the well in a few lines. The quick strokes suggest a focus on the overall form and the natural setting, rather than detailed realism. The drawing is part of a larger collection of sketches by Vos that are now held at the Rijksmuseum, offering glimpses into her artistic process and observations of everyday life.
