Twee tegenover elkaar gezeten vrouwen c. 1916

"Twee tegenover elkaar gezeten vrouwen" is a pencil sketch on paper created by Dutch artist Reijer Stolk around 1916. The work depicts two women seated facing each other, captured in a gestural style that emphasizes movement and form. Stolk’s use of hatching creates depth and volume within the figures, while leaving much of the background undefined. This unfinished quality suggests a study or preliminary sketch, perhaps for a larger work. Currently located in the Rijksmuseum, the sketch offers a glimpse into Stolk’s artistic process and his interest in capturing the human figure.
