Reproductie van een getekend portret van Stijn Streuvels after 1913

Here's a reproduction of a drawn portrait of Stijn Streuvels made with what looks like graphite on paper. I love the energy of this drawing, how the artist explores the contours of the face with such freedom. You can really sense the hand moving, almost dancing across the page. The texture is so immediate. Look at the way the lines vary in weight and pressure, creating depth and shadow. It's not about perfection but about capturing a fleeting moment, an impression. The lines around the eyes are particularly evocative, suggesting a depth of character. It reminds me a little of some of Guston's looser drawings, where he's just feeling his way through the subject. Art, like life, is often about embracing imperfection and finding beauty in the unexpected. It’s about the ongoing conversation between artists across time, each adding their voice to the mix. It's a reminder that there's always more than one way to see the world.
