De haai 1894 - 1959

"De haai" (The Shark) is a print created by Gordinne between 1894 and 1959, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The artwork depicts a shark swimming through the ocean. The artist uses detailed hatching and a muted color palette to realistically represent the animal's form and texture. This print exemplifies the use of naturalism, a popular style in the 19th century, to depict the world with scientific accuracy.
