Ineengevouwen handen c. 1840 - 1860

"Ineengevouwen handen" (Intertwined Hands) is a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Charles Rochussen, created sometime between 1840 and 1860 and housed in the Rijksmuseum. The drawing is a simple study of two intertwined hands rendered in a light and gestural style. This small sketch exemplifies Rochussen's focus on capturing the essence of form through swift, expressive lines, characteristic of his artistic practice and the Dutch Romanticism movement.
