Zittende vrouw, steunend op een blok steen 1801 - 1876

"Zittende vrouw, steunend op een blok steen" is a 19th-century drawing by Dutch artist Pieter Ernst Hendrik Praetorius, depicting a woman in a simple white dress sitting on a block of stone, resting her head on her hand. The subject matter and style are characteristic of Praetorius's work, which often featured realistic portrayals of everyday life. The drawing is a delicate and evocative study of the human figure, capturing the woman's quiet contemplation and sense of solitude. The use of pen and ink creates a sense of depth and texture, highlighting the folds of the woman's clothing and the rough surface of the stone.
