Vandbærerske. Portugal. 1911

"Vandbærerske. Portugal." is a 1911 pencil drawing by Othon Friesz, a French artist who was part of the Fauvist movement. The work depicts a woman carrying a pitcher of water, a common theme in art, and uses a loose, gestural style to capture the subject's movement. The figure stands in a landscape setting, with a tree in the background, suggesting the woman is in a rural environment. The drawing is a simple, yet powerful expression of the human form and its relationship to the natural world. This artwork, housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, exemplifies Friesz's ability to capture a moment in time through his expressive and painterly approach.
