Figuurstudies van vrouwen en kinderen 1847 - 1904

"Figuurstudies van vrouwen en kinderen" (Figure Studies of Women and Children), a pencil drawing by Philip Sadée, is a study of figures, a common practice for artists seeking to refine their understanding of anatomy and movement. Created between 1847 and 1904, the artwork is characterized by the artist's loose, expressive lines, capturing the essence of the figures rather than their precise details. The figures, likely women and children from the artist's everyday life, are depicted in various poses, some standing, others seated, showcasing Sadée's keen observation of human form. The drawing, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the artist's working process and the evolution of his style.
