Landschap met een zittende vrouw bij een trog 1858

This pencil drawing, "Landschap met een zittende vrouw bij een trog," by Dutch artist Bastiaan de Poorter (1813-1880), depicts a scene of three figures in a landscape. The composition is dominated by a seated woman at the center, kneeling with a dog at her feet, as a man carries a basket of fruit toward a recumbent figure in the background. The drawing is characterized by a loose, expressive style, using a range of lines to capture the forms and movement of the figures, with a background sketched in minimal detail. This piece is held in the collection of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and showcases de Poorter's skill in capturing the essence of a scene through quick, evocative strokes.
