Twee schetsen van zittende vrouwen 1841 - 1857

"Twee schetsen van zittende vrouwen" (Two sketches of seated women), is a work by Johan Daniël Koelman created between 1841 and 1857. The painting depicts two women, one seated on a stone, the other on the ground, and both are engaged in simple tasks. The realistic depiction and loose brushstrokes are characteristic of Koelman's style, who was a Dutch painter known for his genre scenes and portraits. The painting, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, demonstrates the artist's talent for capturing everyday life with a sense of realism and sensitivity.
