Twee vrouwen bij een waarzegster c. 1782 - 1837

This 19th-century drawing by Pieter Bartholomeusz. Barbiers depicts a scene of everyday life. Two women, dressed in simple clothing, stand before an older woman who is seated and appears to be telling their fortunes. The artist, a Dutch painter and draftsman known for his genre scenes, captures the quiet intimacy of the moment with detailed and expressive lines. The drawing, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Barbiers' skill in depicting the lives of ordinary people in a sensitive and nuanced way.
