Meisje, zittend met het rechterbeen opgetrokken 1885 - 1931

"Meisje, zittend met het rechterbeen opgetrokken" is a charcoal drawing by Willem Bastiaan Tholen, a prominent Dutch artist of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Created sometime between 1885 and 1931, this piece showcases Tholen's signature style of gestural lines and expressive form. The drawing depicts a young woman seated, her right leg drawn up towards her chest. The figure's anatomy and drapery are rendered with rapid, loose strokes that convey movement and a sense of spontaneity. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, the drawing provides a glimpse into Tholen's artistic process and his fascination with the human figure.
