Meisje in een weide met bomen 1854 - 1914

"Meisje in een weide met bomen" (Girl in a meadow with trees) is a pencil sketch by Albert Neuhuys, a Dutch painter known for his realistic depictions of everyday life. Created between 1854 and 1914, this work showcases Neuhuys' skill in capturing the subtle nuances of light and shadow. The simple yet evocative scene portrays a lone figure, likely a young girl, walking through a grassy meadow towards a line of trees, emphasizing the quiet solitude of the natural world. This sketch is a testament to Neuhuys' ability to convey emotion and atmosphere through his expressive lines and gentle shading, making it a valuable addition to the Rijksmuseum's collection.
