Zittende figuur op een trap voor een huis 1890 - 1946

"Zittende figuur op een trap voor een huis" (Sitting figure on a staircase in front of a house) is a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Cornelis Vreedenburgh, created between 1890 and 1946. The artwork depicts a simple scene of a figure sitting on a set of steps, with a grand building looming in the background. Vreedenburgh, known for his urban landscapes and figure studies, captures the essence of daily life with delicate, minimalist strokes. The drawing is a testament to the artist's keen observation of the human form and the built environment. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, this work exemplifies Vreedenburgh's distinct style, often characterized by its linear quality and focus on the everyday.
