Studieblad met zittende dame 1832 - 1885

"Studie blad met zittende dame," a study sheet with a seated woman, is an 1832-1885 drawing by French artist Rodolphe Bresdin (1822-1885). This detailed pen and ink drawing depicts a woman seated in a chair, with her head partially obscured by another woman in the background. The intricate detail of the woman's clothing and the complex layering of figures in the composition showcase Bresdin's mastery of line and form. This small-scale work, measuring just 212 mm in height and 114 mm in width, highlights Bresdin's interest in studying the human figure through detailed observation and experimentation with visual composition.
