"Slakken" (Slugs) is a c. 1916 pencil drawing by Dutch artist Reijer Stolk (1896-1945). This simple, but detailed drawing features four slugs, two with shells and two without, in varying poses on a blank page. The work is currently on view at the Rijksmuseum. The drawing showcases Stolk’s talent for capturing the essence of his subject matter in a succinct and expressive manner.
