Omstanders bij een sinaasappelenverkoopster 1919

Otto Verhagen's "Omstanders bij een sinaasappelenverkoopster" is a 1919 drawing that depicts a street scene. It features a woman selling oranges from a cart, surrounded by potential customers. Verhagen captures the energy and bustle of everyday life with loose and expressive lines, focusing on the fleeting moments of interaction between the figures. The use of charcoal and colored pencils gives the drawing a sense of immediacy and rough texture. The composition, with its focus on the central figure of the orange seller, draws the viewer into the scene, inviting them to observe the interactions between the individuals.
