Twee vrouwen bezoeken een slapende jongen c. 1840 - 1860

"Twee vrouwen bezoeken een slapende jongen" is a pencil sketch by the Belgian artist Charles Rochussen, dated circa 1840-1860. The drawing depicts a sleeping young man, lying on his side, with two women standing behind him. Rochussen's delicate lines capture the relaxed posture of the figures, creating a sense of tranquility and intimacy. The sketch's simple composition and loose style suggest a quick study or preparatory drawing for a larger work, characteristic of Rochussen's approach to capturing fleeting moments and everyday life. The sketch is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
