About this work

A small, brownish drawing shows a woman in a loose dress, her back turned to us. She holds a basket, and her hair is tied up in a simple knot. No one knows who made it or why. It was tucked inside a big book of neighborhood maps in Amsterdam, like a secret tucked between pages. The lines are quick and light—more like a memory than a finished work. To see more quiet, unsigned sketches like this, visit the Rijksmuseum.
