Meisje met muts 1847 - 1865

"Meisje met muts" (Girl with a Cap), created by Charles Rochussen between 1847 and 1865, depicts a young girl standing in a picturesque outdoor setting. The girl, dressed in a simple yet elegant dress, stands with her arm resting on a stone wall, her gaze directed towards the distance. The detail in the foliage and the girl’s clothing, rendered in a realistic style, highlights Rochussen's skill as a draftsman. This lithograph, currently part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, is a testament to the artist’s fascination with portraying everyday life in a poetic and sentimental manner.
