Studieblad met staande figuren c. 1892 - 1897

This study sheet featuring standing figures is an example of the preliminary sketches Willem Witsen created in the late 19th century. The rapid, gestural lines of the pencil reveal the artist's focus on capturing movement and form. Witsen, a prominent Dutch artist known for his realist and impressionistic paintings, utilized such studies to develop his compositions. This work, held in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the creative process of a master draftsman.
