Zittende vrouw 1807 - 1861

"Zittende vrouw" (Seated Woman), a black and white etching on paper created between 1807 and 1861, depicts a woman sitting in a landscape setting. Cornelis Steffelaar, a Dutch artist known for his drawings, created this delicate artwork using hatching techniques to capture the details of the woman's clothing and the surrounding foliage. The woman, seated in profile, faces away from the viewer, gazing into the distance, creating a sense of contemplation. The work highlights Steffelaar's skill in capturing the human form and the beauty of the natural world.
