Twee schetsen van een vrouw en een krijger 1715 - 1798

This pencil drawing by Dutch artist Dionys van Nijmegen, created between 1715 and 1798, depicts two figures in a dynamic pose. The first figure, a woman, is partially draped and appears to be in motion, while the second figure, a warrior, is shown in a dramatic stance. These sketches are likely preliminary studies for a larger artwork, offering a glimpse into the artist's process of capturing human anatomy and movement. The loose and expressive lines suggest a swiftness of execution, characteristic of van Nijmegen's style. The combination of classical subjects and the artist's skillful handling of line makes this drawing a valuable example of Dutch art from the 18th century.
