Militair en vrouw nemen afscheid before 1898

This pen and ink drawing titled “Militair en vrouw nemen afscheid” by Heinrich M. Krabbé depicts a poignant scene of a soldier bidding farewell to a woman. The soldier is dressed in uniform, while the woman wears a simple dress and apron, suggesting a domestic setting. The drawing captures the emotional weight of their parting, perhaps due to the soldier's deployment or impending departure. The simple composition and the artist's use of line work create a sense of intimacy and vulnerability, highlighting the universal theme of love and loss experienced during times of conflict. This artwork, created before 1898, is a testament to Krabbé's talent for capturing human emotion in a minimalist style.
