Zittend meisje met een kap 1874

"Zittend meisje met een kap" (Sitting girl with a cap) is a pencil drawing on paper by Willem Cornelis Rip, a Dutch artist known for his portraits and figure studies. Created in 1874, the artwork showcases a young woman, likely a peasant girl, depicted in a simple, yet expressive manner, seated with her head turned downwards, emphasizing her contemplative pose. Rip's masterful use of line and shading provides depth and dimension to the figure, highlighting the soft features of her face and the delicate folds of her clothing. The sketch reflects the realistic style popular during the late 19th century, capturing a moment of everyday life with sensitivity and detail.
