Vrouw op haar knieën, bezig met schoonmaken 1848 - 1907

"Vrouw op haar knieën, bezig met schoonmaken" (Woman on Her Knees, Busy Cleaning) is a charcoal drawing by Dutch artist August Allebé, created between 1848 and 1907. It portrays a woman in a simple dress, kneeling and cleaning, with her head bent in concentration. The drawing is executed in a realist style, capturing the subject's everyday life and emphasizing the details of her posture and clothing. The work, now held by the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Allebé's focus on depicting the working class and their daily routines.
