"Steen bij een boomstam" (Stone by a tree trunk), a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Maria Vos, is a delicate study of nature. Created in the mid-19th century, this work showcases Vos's talent for capturing the subtle details of the natural world. The drawing depicts a large stone nestled amidst foliage and a wooden fence, with light and shadow adding depth and texture to the composition. This work, housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into Vos's artistic practice and her keen observation of the world around her.
