To kvinder på gaden 1802 - 1892

"To kvinder på gaden" (Two Women on the Street) is a pen and wash drawing by Constantin Guys, a French artist known for his depictions of Parisian life. This piece, dated between 1802 and 1892, captures a fleeting moment, showcasing two women on the street, their bodies concealed in voluminous, richly detailed clothing. The artist uses subtle shading and delicate lines to convey texture and movement, hinting at the elegance and dynamism of the fashionable women of his time. This small-scale work is a testament to Guys' skill in capturing the essence of Parisian society with a keen eye for detail. It currently resides in the collection of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
