Staande jongen en een zittend kind met een schrijfplank 1827 - 1891

This pencil sketch, "Staande jongen en een zittend kind met een schrijfplank," by Johannes Bosboom, is a quick study of two figures: a standing boy and a seated child holding a writing board. The artist, known for his meticulous depictions of Dutch interiors, produced this drawing likely as part of his preparatory work for a larger composition. Bosboom's detailed yet loose style is evident even in this preliminary sketch, hinting at the skillful realism he would bring to his finished paintings. The drawing, now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, offers a glimpse into the artist's creative process.
