Zittend meisje in balletpak tussen militaire rekwisieten 1870 - 1923

"Zittend meisje in balletpak tussen militaire rekwisieten" (Sitting girl in a ballet outfit among military props) is a watercolor painting by Willem Witsen, created between 1870 and 1923. The artwork depicts a young girl in a ballet costume, sitting on a chair with a sword leaning against it. A drum rests beside her, a nod to the military theme. The subject's thoughtful pose and the muted tones of the painting suggest a contemplative mood, potentially exploring themes of childhood, innocence, and the complexities of war. This work is housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcasing Witsen's mastery of realism and social commentary.
