Louise staande onder een lindeboom 1770 - 1775

This drawing by Daniel Chodowiecki depicts a woman standing beneath a lime tree. The work was created sometime between 1770 and 1775. Although the drawing's title is "Louise staande onder een lindeboom", the inscription at the bottom states "In Safrans 1.ten Augst 1:ten Augst." and "bin" (which could mean "I am"). This inscription may be a reference to the drawing's subject and the date of creation. The woman is dressed in a long skirt, and a shawl is wrapped around her shoulders. She stands in front of a house and a tree, and the landscape behind her features more foliage. The drawing is small, measuring 90 mm in height and 50 mm in width, making it a fine example of the artist's precise and delicate style.
