Catalogue Note
Johannes H. Jurres worked within the 19th-century Dutch academic tradition, where pencil drawings played an important role as both preparatory studies and finished works in their own right. The present sheet reflects a strong command of figurative structure and narrative composition, hallmarks of academically trained draughtsmanship of the period.
