Studie van een groep mensen 1831 - 1899

This graphite drawing by Johannes Jacobus Bertelman, titled "Studie van een groep mensen," depicts a group of people, likely from the 19th century, in a dimly lit setting. The figures are sketched in a loose, expressive style, emphasizing their forms and the interplay of light and shadow. The composition is intimate, focusing on the interaction between the individuals, and suggesting a snapshot of everyday life. The artist's skill in capturing fleeting moments and conveying atmosphere is evident in this small-scale work, creating a compelling glimpse into the lives of his subjects.
