Handwerkende vrouw bij een raam 1874 - 1925

"Handwerkende vrouw bij een raam" (Working Woman by a Window) is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist Jan Veth, dating between 1874 and 1925. The artwork depicts a woman sitting by a window, likely engaged in some form of manual labor, as the title suggests. The sketch is characterized by its loose, gestural lines, which capture the figure's pose and the surrounding environment with a sense of immediacy. This drawing is a testament to Veth's observational skills and his ability to convey a sense of everyday life in a simple and direct manner. The work is currently held in the Rijksmuseum, a prominent institution showcasing Dutch art and history.
