Droevig meisje 1820 - 1830

"Droevig meisje" (Sad Girl) is a pencil drawing by Jean Augustin Daiwaille, a prominent Belgian artist, created between 1820 and 1830. This melancholic portrait captures a young girl with a wistful expression, her head slightly tilted down, emphasizing her somber mood. The drawing is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and stands as a testament to Daiwaille's talent for depicting human emotion. The delicate lines and subtle shading create a sense of depth and realism, making the viewer feel connected to the subject's inner state.
