Boerin met een kap en schort en twee manden c. 1839 - 1872

This drawing, "Boerin met een kap en schort en twee manden" (Farm Woman with a Cap and Apron and Two Baskets) by Johannes Tavenraat, is a study of a woman's head and body. Tavenraat, a Dutch painter known for his genre scenes, created this pencil sketch in the 19th century. The delicate strokes and minimal details suggest a preliminary work, perhaps for a larger composition. The drawing's focus on the figure's head and baskets highlights Tavenraat's interest in capturing the everyday lives of ordinary people, a characteristic of his artistic style. The work is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offering a glimpse into Tavenraat's artistic process and the lives of Dutch women in the 19th century.
