Boerenvrouw op een pad in een boomrijke omgeving 1874 - 1925

This graphite drawing by Dutch artist Jan Veth, titled "Boerenvrouw op een pad in een boomrijke omgeving" (Farmwoman on a path in a wooded area), portrays a woman walking on a path through a forest. It is a preliminary sketch for a larger work that was likely never completed. Created between 1874 and 1925, the drawing is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offering a glimpse into the artist's creative process and his interest in rural life. The sketch's delicate lines and emphasis on light and shadow evoke the tranquility of the natural setting.
