Zittende vrouw met mand, de voet op een stoof 1809 - 1869

"Zittende vrouw met mand, de voet op een stoof," a drawing by Alexander Cranendoncq, depicts a seated woman with a basket, possibly a vendor or peasant woman, reflecting the social realities of the 19th century. The artwork, created between 1809 and 1869, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exhibits the artist's talent for capturing the everyday details of life through the use of delicate and nuanced strokes. Cranendoncq's mastery of drawing is evident in the figure’s pose and the depiction of the basket and stool, adding a sense of realism and narrative to the work.
