Woman Leaning over a Lower Door is a 1761 ink by Jacobus Buys, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a woman leaning over a low door, her back to us. She’s wearing a loose coat and a hat, and her posture looks tense. Through the open door, you can see a blank wall with a small hook or nail drawn on it. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show movement and mood. The brown ink gives it a warm, slightly rough feel. Next, check out etching to see how artists like this made prints.
