Zittende vrouw op haar rug gezien 1830 - 1831

"Zittende vrouw op haar rug gezien" (Seated woman seen from behind) is a 1830-1831 etching by Dutch artist Henricus Wilhelmus Couwenberg (1814-1845). This piece, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a woman seated with her back to the viewer, her hands clasped in front of her. Couwenberg's meticulous detail is evident in the rendering of the woman's elaborate hair and the texture of her clothing. The composition's simplicity and the woman's contemplative pose evoke a sense of quiet introspection. This artwork exemplifies Couwenberg's talent for capturing the subtle nuances of human form and expression.
