Kraaien in de sneeuw 1878 - 1906

"Kraaien in de sneeuw" (Crows in the Snow), created between 1878 and 1906 by Dutch artist Theo van Hoytema, is a striking black and white lithograph depicting a flock of crows gathered on a snowy landscape. The crows are rendered in a detailed, almost abstract style, with their forms dissolving into the background snow and sky. This creates a sense of movement and disorientation, reflecting the natural energy of a flock of birds. This artwork is a fine example of van Hoytema's talent for portraying nature, and is currently part of the Rijksmuseum collection.
