This red chalk drawing, created between 1630 and 1670, depicts two women. The woman standing holds a small object, possibly a flower, and the woman kneeling has her back turned to the viewer. It is believed to be a preliminary sketch for a larger composition, likely depicting the Greek myth of Theseus, the son of Aegeus, finding his father's sword. The work's anonymous artist, who is otherwise unknown, shows a mastery of depicting the human form, utilizing shading and line to capture the contours of the figures. The drawing is a testament to the artist's skill in capturing the nuances of human form and movement. It is currently held in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
