Tegen rots slapende vrouw 1815

"Tegen rots slapende vrouw," a delicate drawing by Hermanus Fock, depicts a woman resting on a rocky outcrop. The woman is positioned amongst a verdant landscape, with a ruined building visible in the background, suggesting an air of solitude and contemplation. Fock's use of light and shade creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, characteristic of the Neoclassical style popular in the early 19th century. This small yet expressive work, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the beauty and introspective nature of Romanticism.
