Two women 1662

"Two Women" is a 1662 graphite drawing by Dutch artist Esaias Boursse. The drawing depicts two women, one wearing a wide-brimmed hat, standing in profile against a plain background. The work, likely a study for a larger painting, exemplifies Boursse's skill in rendering the human form and the details of clothing. Boursse's drawing style was characterized by precise lines and a delicate use of shading. These characteristics are evident in his depiction of the women's clothing and the texture of their skin. The work is notable for its realism and its focus on the details of everyday life.
