About Figure in a beehive and a monsterb (A cursory sketch of two women)

The artwork titled “Figure in a beehive and a monster (A cursory sketch of two women)” by Hieronymus Bosch belongs to the Northern Renaissance art movement and falls under the genre of sketch and study.

The artwork, true to its classification, provides a rudimentary yet evocative glimpse into Bosch’s imaginative world. The sketch features two abstracted figures—one of whom appears to be enveloped in a beehive structure, while the other bears monstrous features. Both figures exhibit a whimsical, almost otherworldly quality typical of Bosch’s oeuvre. The lines are tentative and exploratory, suggesting the artist’s process of conceptualization. The minimalist and unrefined strokes convey a raw perusal of form and character, which offers a foundation for interpreting Bosch’s broader thematic narratives. The simplicity of the drawing materials and the unfinished appearance lend the piece an air of intimate, introspective study.
