Studieblad, onder andere met een zogende moeder c. 1840 - 1860

This graphite drawing by Charles Rochussen, titled "Studie­blad, onder andere met een zogende moeder," is a study sheet comprised of four individual sketches. Created between 1840 and 1860, the work showcases Rochussen's skill in capturing the human form. The central figure, a seated mother breastfeeding her infant, is particularly striking. The sketch is likely a preparatory study for a larger work, demonstrating the artist's exploration of composition and light. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, this drawing offers insight into the creative process of a renowned 19th-century artist.
