This simple pencil drawing on paper titled "Staande vrouw" (Standing Woman) by Dutch artist Pieter van Loon was created between 1811 and 1873. The sketch depicts a single figure laid out, reminiscent of a fallen angel or a person in distress. The composition is minimal and captures the essence of a moment in time through a quick and expressive gesture. The artwork is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
