Handwerkende Marker vrouw 1875

"Handwerkende Marker vrouw" (Working Marker Woman) is a pencil sketch by George Clausen, a prominent British artist known for his realistic depictions of everyday life. Created in 1875, this quick study captures the essence of a woman engaged in a simple task, likely marking fabric, through loose and expressive lines. The artist's focus on form and light, coupled with the intimate scale of the drawing, brings the subject into a close and personal space. This sketch, along with Clausen's other works, showcases his mastery of representational art, often used to portray domestic settings and the lives of ordinary people.
