Figuurstudies c. 1935 - 1936

"Figuurstudies" (c. 1935-1936) by Cornelis Vreedenburgh is a simple yet powerful pencil sketch housed in the Rijksmuseum. The work depicts two figures, one standing and one seated, in a loose and gestural style. The sketch demonstrates Vreedenburgh's keen observation of human form, capturing the essence of his subjects with minimal lines. This piece exemplifies the artist's exploration of figure drawing and his preference for capturing spontaneous moments through a simplified aesthetic.
