Twee rustende meisjes bij een boomstam 1870 - 1871

"Twee rustende meisjes bij een boomstam" is a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Jan Willem van Borselen. Created between 1870 and 1871, this piece depicts two seated figures, likely mother and daughter, resting near a tree trunk. Van Borselen's work often focused on capturing the everyday lives of ordinary people, especially those from the working class. The soft, expressive lines of the drawing contribute to the sense of intimacy and quiet contemplation conveyed by the figures, creating a poignant and realistic portrayal of their simple moment of rest. The artwork is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
