Twee zittende boerenmeisjes c. 1800 - 1900

This anonymous 19th-century pencil drawing portrays two peasant girls in a relaxed pose, one seated holding a basket and the other resting her head against a wooden structure. Their simple attire and casual postures suggest a scene of rural life, capturing the daily activities and quiet moments of these women. The artist's delicate lines and subtle shading create a sense of realism and intimacy, inviting viewers to connect with the subject matter. The drawing's small scale and intimate composition make it a compelling example of genre art focused on everyday life.
