Studie van een zittend meisje before 1917

"Studie van een zittend meisje" (Study of a Seated Girl) is a delicate pencil drawing by Dutch artist Matthijs Maris, created before his death in 1917. The artwork features a young woman in a flowing gown, seated in a contemplative pose, with subtle details in her clothing and a suggestion of her surroundings. The delicate lines and subtle shading of Maris's style give the drawing a sense of quiet intimacy, characteristic of his later works. This study, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Maris's mastery of drawing and his profound interest in capturing the essence of his subjects.
