Lezende vrouw 1890 - 1922

"Lezende vrouw" is a charcoal sketch created by Dutch artist Johanna van de Kamer between 1890 and 1922. The piece depicts a woman sitting in a chair, reading a book, although it is only a gesture drawing. The artist’s loose and dynamic lines suggest the movement of her subject, creating a sense of energy and life. This piece exemplifies van de Kamer’s talent for capturing the essence of her subjects through simple yet expressive strokes. The sketch, likely a study for a larger work, reveals the artist's process of capturing the human form in motion.
