Meisje met een mand en jongen met een touw 1912

"Meisje met een mand en jongen met een touw," created in 1912 by Dutch artist Richard Nicolaüs Roland Holst, depicts a young woman holding a basket and a young man holding a rope, both standing before a leafy archway. The artwork is a striking example of Holst's expressive black and white style, characterized by bold lines and dramatic contrasts. The scene, likely inspired by Dutch folklore, evokes a sense of mystery and anticipation, leaving the viewer to contemplate the characters' journey and their connection to the surrounding landscape.
