Meisje, liggend onder bomen bij een water 1846 - 1905

"Meisje, liggend onder bomen bij een water," a black and white drawing created between 1846 and 1905 by Dutch artist Hendrik Adriaan Christiaan Dekker, depicts a young woman lying beneath a tree. The woman is dressed in a simple white blouse and dark skirt, with her head turned to the side. The composition focuses on her body and the lush, detailed foliage surrounding her. The soft, painterly lines and the use of chiaroscuro create a sense of depth and atmosphere. The work is a fine example of Dekker's Romantic style and his talent for capturing the beauty of nature and human emotion.
