Interior with a woman.

Charcoal, chalk and gouache, 11,2 x 13,5 cm, wove paper, charcoal signed at top right corner (sl. wavy paper).

Under passe-partout and gilt frame.

Intimate interior scene with a sewing lady. This work is in many ways archetypal to Smits's oeuvre, with its rural setting, farmers and interior with large window. Various etchings and paintings (cfr. KMSKA) by his hand are very similar to this drawing.
Ref. Pas 9 & 33.
Prov. Direct descent purchased from the artist (cfr. verso frame).
