Studieblad met honden, ruiters en figuren c. 1840 - 1860

This study sheet, created by Belgian artist Charles Rochussen between 1840 and 1860, showcases his deft hand at sketching. Featuring a variety of figures, dogs, and riders, the work highlights Rochussen's keen eye for observation and his skill in capturing movement and form. The loose, gestural lines suggest a quick sketch, perhaps made in the field, and the graphite medium adds a sense of immediacy to the work. This piece provides a glimpse into the artist's creative process and his interest in capturing the essence of everyday life.
