Reiger met drie apen 1905

"Reiger met drie apen" is a 1905 woodcut by Dutch artist Theo van Hoytema, a prominent figure in the Dutch art scene from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This striking artwork depicts a heron, its white form standing out against the dark background, seemingly guarding three monkeys below. The simplified lines and contrasting light and dark areas are characteristic of woodcut techniques, creating a powerful visual impact. This piece is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcasing the artist's distinct style and mastery of this traditional printmaking method.
