Jonge vrouw, op de rug gezien, staand in een tuin 1770 - 1837

This 19th-century drawing by Dutch artist Taco Scheltema, titled “Jonge vrouw, op de rug gezien, staand in een tuin,” depicts a young woman in a garden. Scheltema, who was known for his portraits and landscapes, created this piece with graphite on paper. The work showcases the artist's skillful rendering of both the figure and the surrounding natural environment, capturing the delicate folds of the woman’s dress and the lush greenery of the garden. The drawing is a sensitive portrayal of a woman in contemplation, a typical theme of the Romantic era in which it was created.
