Architectuur 1906 - 1945

"Architectuur," a pencil sketch by Dutch artist Reijer Stolk (1896-1945), is a study of architectural forms. Created sometime between 1906 and 1945, it is characterized by loose, expressive lines that capture the essence of the subject. The drawing is part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam. Stolk's use of line and shading evokes the solidity of the structures, while also capturing the dynamism of their arrangement. The sketch reveals the artist's interest in architectural composition and his ability to convey form through simplified, yet evocative means.
