Zittend boerenmeisje 1824

"Zittend boerenmeisje" (Sitting Peasant Girl) is a 1824 red chalk drawing by Dutch artist Arnoldus Johannes Eymer. The drawing depicts a young woman in a simple peasant dress, seated with her arm resting on a stone block. Eymer, known for his skillful use of line and detail, captures the subject's contemplative pose and the texture of her clothing. The drawing's realistic portrayal of a rural subject is characteristic of Eymer's work, which often focused on everyday life and figures. This intimate study of a young woman exemplifies the artist's interest in depicting the common people of his time.
