Staand meisje in balletpak tussen toneel rekwisieten 1870 - 1923

Willem Witsen’s watercolor, "Staand meisje in balletpak tussen toneel rekwisieten," depicts a young girl in a ballet costume standing in a studio setting, possibly preparing for a performance. The artist's signature style, characterized by muted tones and a focus on capturing the essence of the subject, shines through in this piece. The girl's contemplative gaze, the play of light on her skin, and the simple composition create a sense of intimacy and quiet contemplation. This painting, created between 1870 and 1923, is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offering a glimpse into the artist's exploration of everyday life and the human form.
