Vrouw met een doek in haar handen Possibly 1874

"Vrouw met een doek in haar handen" is a pencil drawing by Cornelis Springer, a Dutch artist who specialized in portraiture and genre scenes. Created possibly in 1874, the drawing depicts a woman holding a cloth, offering a glimpse into daily life in the 19th century. The simple, yet expressive, lines suggest a sense of realism, characteristic of Springer's artistic approach. The piece, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures the quiet dignity of its subject, highlighting Springer's skill in capturing human form and gesture.
