Urker vrouwen 1875

"Urker vrouwen" is a pencil sketch by British artist George Clausen, dated 1875. The drawing features three figures, two of which are women from Urk, a village in the Netherlands, rendered in a gestural and expressive style. Clausen is known for his masterful use of light and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects, as seen in this quick study, likely made during a visit to the Netherlands. The artist's signature is visible in the lower right corner, along with a note reading "Urk." This drawing provides a glimpse into Clausen's working process and his interest in capturing the life and character of everyday people.
