Studie naar Nel Wouters, zittend in een leunstoel 1892 - 1916

"Studie naar Nel Wouters, zittend in een leunstoel" is a black and white ink drawing by Belgian artist Rik Wouters, created between 1892 and 1916. The drawing depicts his wife, Nel Wouters, sitting in an armchair, her body and the chair are depicted in a gestural and expressive way, capturing a moment of domestic intimacy in a style reminiscent of Impressionism. The artwork is a study, a sketch capturing a moment in the life of Wouters and his beloved wife, revealing a glimpse into their personal life and their shared artistic vision. The use of black ink against the pale background creates a strong contrast, drawing the viewer's attention to the subject's form and posture. This is a piece that exemplifies Wouters' artistic evolution and his commitment to portraying everyday life.
