Dame te paard gezeten 1840

"Dame te paard gezeten" is a delicate pencil drawing by Dutch artist Johan Hendrik Koelman, created in 1840. The artwork depicts a woman in a wide-brimmed hat, seated and holding a pair of knitting needles. Koelman, known for his portraits and genre scenes, captures a moment of quiet contemplation and domesticity. The piece's soft lines and subtle shading create a sense of intimacy, inviting the viewer to observe the woman's quiet activity. This drawing is part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam and stands as a testament to Koelman's skillful portrayal of everyday life.
