Zittende vrouw met de voeten op een stoof 1827 - 1891

"Zittende vrouw met de voeten op een stoof" is a delicate pencil sketch by Johannes Bosboom, a prominent Dutch artist known for his architectural landscapes. The drawing, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a seated woman with her feet resting on a stove, a common sight in Dutch homes during the 19th century. Bosboom's subtle use of line and shading captures the figure's relaxed posture and the quiet intimacy of the domestic scene. While the artwork is a study in itself, it may have served as a preliminary sketch for a larger composition, showcasing Bosboom's versatile artistic practice.
