Zittend meisje c. 1884 - 1887

Willem Witsen's "Zittend meisje" (c. 1884 - 1887) is a delicate pencil sketch housed in the Rijksmuseum. The drawing depicts a seated female figure, capturing a moment of quiet contemplation. The artist's loose lines and subtle shading create a sense of intimacy and informality, characteristic of his style. This sketch serves as a testament to Witsen's interest in capturing the everyday, the human form, and the nuanced beauty of simple moments.
