Twee studies voor De Molenaar 1870 - 1923

Willem Witsen's "Twee studies voor De Molenaar" (1870 - 1923) is a pair of pencil sketches of figures, showcasing his talent for capturing the human form with a loose and expressive hand. The studies are believed to be preliminary sketches for his painting "De Molenaar," hinting at the artist's meticulous process and focus on detail. The composition emphasizes the figures in a simple, minimalist style, reflecting Witsen's affinity for realism and naturalism. Currently displayed at the Rijksmuseum, these sketches offer a glimpse into the artist's working methods and his dedication to capturing the essence of his subjects.
