Vrouwen bij een wagen op een kar c. 1863

"Vrouwen bij een wagen op een kar" is a pencil drawing by Cornelis Springer from around 1863. The drawing, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures a moment in time with two women standing near a horse-drawn carriage, possibly in a rural setting. Springer, a Dutch artist born in 1817 and known for his landscapes and genre scenes, uses a quick, gestural style to sketch the figures and the carriage, focusing on capturing the essence of the scene rather than precise detail. The composition is informal and dynamic, highlighting the everyday life and activities of ordinary people.
