Ruth, Boaz en een opzichter werken op het land 1798 - 1837

"Ruth, Boaz en een opzichter werken op het land" is a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Ernst Willem Jan Bagelaar, created between 1798 and 1837. The drawing depicts a scene from the Book of Ruth, where Ruth, a Moabite woman, gathers grain in the fields of Boaz, a wealthy landowner. The scene is set in a rural landscape, with a distant view of a town or village. The drawing is characterized by its delicate lines and subtle shading, which create a sense of depth and realism. This small-scale work is a fine example of Bagelaar's talent for capturing everyday life and the beauty of the natural world.
