Woman sitting on a bench and sketch of a sitting man 1662

This drawing by Esaias Boursse, created in 1662, depicts a woman seated on a bench. The woman is the central focus, with a detailed rendering of her clothing and posture. A sketch of a sitting man, faintly drawn in the background, adds a secondary element to the composition. This work, measuring 148 mm by 196 mm, showcases Boursse's talent for capturing the human form through a simple yet expressive style. The artwork is a testament to the Dutch artist's skills in drawing and his keen observation of everyday life.
