Traditie, Scheppingskracht en Erkenning 1878 - 1938

"Traditie, Scheppingskracht en Erkenning" (Tradition, Creative Power and Recognition), created between 1878 and 1938 by Dutch symbolist painter Richard Nicolaüs Roland Holst, is a charcoal and watercolor drawing. The artwork depicts a man on horseback riding past a seated figure labeled "Tradition" and a kneeling figure labeled "Recognition," suggesting an allegory of creative power transcending the boundaries of tradition. The drawing features a distinct linear style and an atmospheric use of blue washes, characteristic of Holst's work.
