Staand meisje met een hoed c. 1876 - 1879

Anton Mauve’s charcoal drawing “Staand meisje met een hoed” from c. 1876-1879 captures a fleeting moment of a young girl standing with a hat. The loose, gestural lines of the drawing suggest a quick sketch, perhaps a study for a larger painting. Mauve’s use of charcoal and the light strokes of the lines creates a sense of movement and captures the essence of his subject. The drawing is on display at the Rijksmuseum.
