Marker vrouw bij een pomp en een meisje in Urker klederdracht 1875

This 1875 charcoal sketch by George Clausen depicts two figures, a woman and a girl, likely from Urk, a fishing village in the Netherlands. The woman on the left appears to be holding a pump, while the girl on the right is dressed in traditional Urker clothing. The loose, gestural lines and quick sketches suggest a study or preliminary drawing, providing insight into Clausen's working process as he captures the essence of his subjects. The handwritten labels "Man" and "Vrow" add to the sketch's informal nature and demonstrate the artist's direct observation of everyday life.
