Studie, mogelijk een stilleven c. 1915 - 1920

"Studie, mogelijk een stilleven" is a study in red chalk on paper by Dutch artist Willem Witsen, dated to circa 1915-1920. The artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a possible still life, likely of fruit, although details are obscured by the sketchy and impressionistic nature of the work. The loose strokes and soft shading evoke a sense of immediacy, characteristic of Witsen's style, who is known for his naturalist approach to landscape and figure painting. This piece demonstrates his interest in capturing fleeting moments and the inherent beauty of everyday subjects.
