Zes vogels 1906 - 1945

"Zes Vogels" (Six Birds), a pencil sketch by Reijer Stolk, depicts six birds in various poses. This 1906-1945 work is a study in line and form, capturing the essence of these small creatures with delicate yet precise strokes. The artist, who was known for his meticulous attention to detail, masterfully uses the shading techniques and light and dark contrasts to create a sense of volume and depth. The sketch, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a fascinating glimpse into Stolk's creative process and his keen observation of the natural world.
