Vrouw met een mand op het hoofd Possibly 1871 - 1872

"Vrouw met een mand op het hoofd" (Woman with a basket on her head) is a pencil sketch by Cornelis Springer, a Dutch artist known for his landscapes and genre scenes. This drawing, likely created between 1871 and 1872, depicts a woman carrying a basket on her head, likely a common sight in the Netherlands during that era. The artist's loose, expressive lines and detailed shading capture the figure's form and movement, highlighting the simple yet dignified pose of the woman. The work, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into Springer's observational skills and his interest in portraying everyday life.
