Vrouw maakt een vuist naar een jongen 1885 - 1938

Gillis Bernhard Mulder created this drawing with pen and ink, and what strikes me first is the dynamism of the line. It's not just describing forms; it's creating a sense of movement, a narrative unfolding right before our eyes. The texture in the drawing is built up through layers of hatching, creating areas of shadow and depth that give the scene weight. Look at the woman’s fist, raised in mock anger, every line seems charged with intent. It’s as if Mulder is inviting us into a private joke, a shared moment of human drama. This piece reminds me a little of Honoré Daumier's lithographs; both artists excel at capturing the nuances of human expression and social dynamics, but Mulder’s touch is lighter, more whimsical. What I like about art is how it can hold so many different interpretations. It’s a conversation across time and space, and we're all invited to join in.
