Abklatsch van een krijttekening 1901 - 1907

"Abklatsch van een krijttekening" (Chalk Drawing Transfer) is a work by Dutch artist Willem Witsen, created between 1901 and 1907. The work, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a transfer of a chalk drawing, resulting in a faint and delicate image on the paper. This technique was often used by artists like Witsen to experiment with form and composition. The subtle and nearly invisible marks on the paper highlight the artist's exploration of minimalist aesthetics and the beauty of fleeting impressions.
