Studies van vrouwen 1875 - 1900

"Studies van vrouwen" is a charcoal drawing by Dutch artist Jan de Waardt, housed in the Rijksmuseum. Dated between 1875 and 1900, the drawing features three women in various poses. De Waardt captures their figures with loose, expressive lines, suggesting a quick sketch from life. The figures, while simple in detail, convey a sense of movement and everyday life. The composition is informal, reflecting the artist's focus on capturing the essence of his subjects rather than creating a finished work. This drawing offers a glimpse into De Waardt's process and his interest in the human form.
