Reciterende vrouw c. 1965 - 1980

"Reciterende vrouw" (c. 1965-1980) is a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Aat Verhoog (1933-). The drawing, now located in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a group of figures, including a woman in the center, with a gesture of speaking or reciting, perhaps a poem. The artist uses an expressive style to depict the figures, and the interplay between the characters is palpable. Verhoog's work is characterized by the use of expressive lines, often found in a variety of mediums including prints.
