Meisje in een bak met knollen 1887 - 1916

Willem Pothast's "Meisje in een bak met knollen" is a pen and ink drawing created sometime between 1887 and 1916, just a few years before the artist's untimely death in 1916. The drawing depicts a young girl lying in a tub of potatoes, with a man standing over her. The scene is framed by a simple, linear style, typical of Pothast's work. This piece is characteristic of the artist's focus on everyday life, often with a melancholic tone.
