Zwemmende vissen, waaronder een sterlet 1876 - 1924

"Zwemmende vissen, waaronder een sterlet" (Swimming Fish, including a Sterlet) is a graphite drawing by Dutch artist Gerrit Willem Dijsselhof. Created between 1876 and 1924, the piece depicts a school of fish, with one distinct sterlet, a type of sturgeon, swimming in the foreground. Dijsselhof uses a gestural, expressive style to capture the movement of the fish, and his loose lines and subtle shading convey a sense of depth and energy. The drawing is a testament to Dijsselhof's skill in capturing the essence of his subjects with a simple yet powerful style. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
