This drawing by Dutch Golden Age artist Karel Dujardin is a study for a larger composition, depicting three figures in a compositionally dynamic arrangement. One woman is depicted spinning, another is seated, and a loaded donkey with its sleeping driver is also present, all rendered in light and shadow. Dujardin was known for his depictions of peasant life, and this drawing reflects his keen observation of the human figure and everyday scenes. The composition, with its emphasis on light and shadow, is characteristic of Dujardin's style. This drawing, with its simple, unadorned lines and loose, expressive brushwork, is a prime example of Dujardin's talent for capturing the essence of his subjects.
