Schets van spinnende vrouw 1782 - 1837

This delicate pencil sketch, "Schets van spinnende vrouw," by Dutch artist Pieter Bartholomeusz. Barbiers, captures the simple yet poignant image of a woman spinning. The artist's quick, light strokes convey the movement of the woman's hands as she works, while the faint outlines suggest the contours of the surrounding space. This preliminary study, housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the artist's keen eye for detail and his skill in capturing the essence of everyday life.
