Drie staande figuren, de voorste draagt emmers c. 1649

"Drie staande figuren, de voorste draagt emmers" (Three Standing Figures, the Foremost Carrying Buckets), a drawing by Dutch Golden Age artist Harmen ter Borch (1638-1677), depicts a group of three individuals in simple, expressive strokes. The figures, rendered in pen and ink, are characterized by their everyday attire and postures, reflecting the artist's interest in capturing ordinary scenes. The drawing, created around 1649, now resides in the Rijksmuseum, offering a glimpse into the daily life and artistic practice of one of the Netherlands' most celebrated painters.
