Zittende en een knielende vrouw c. 1840 - 1860

Charles Rochussen's "Zittende en een knielende vrouw" (c. 1840-1860) is a pencil sketch on paper, currently held in the Rijksmuseum. It depicts two women, one seated and the other kneeling, both in simple clothing, captured in an informal and expressive style. The loose lines and gestural strokes highlight Rochussen's artistic talent for capturing fleeting moments and the human form. This sketch, likely a study for a larger work, showcases the artist's skill in capturing the essence of human figures through simplified forms.
