Meisje liggend naast een staande jongen 1834 - 1903

"Meisje liggend naast een staande jongen" is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist Johan Hendrik Weissenbruch, dated between 1834 and 1903, and currently held in the Rijksmuseum. The artwork depicts a standing boy holding a stick and a seated girl, captured in a simple, yet expressive, style. The artist's signature sketchy lines and focus on light and shadow contribute to a sense of realism, typical of Weissenbruch's work. The drawing demonstrates the artist's early exploration of figure studies, reflecting his growing interest in capturing everyday scenes of Dutch life.
