Voorovergebogen vrouw Possibly 1870 - 1878

"Voorovergebogen vrouw" (Woman Bent Over) is a pencil drawing by Cornelis Springer, a Dutch artist known for his realism and detailed depictions of daily life. Created sometime between 1870 and 1878, the drawing features a woman in profile, her body bent forward, suggesting a moment of exertion or contemplation. The use of simple lines and subtle shading creates a sense of immediacy, capturing the fleeting essence of a human figure. This work is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, offering a glimpse into Springer's artistic practice and his focus on capturing everyday human moments.
