Studie c. 1901

Gerrit Willem Dijsselhof's "Studie" is a charcoal drawing from around 1901, now housed in the Rijksmuseum. The work is a study in abstract form, demonstrating the artist's exploration of light and shadow through the dense layers of charcoal. The piece evokes a sense of depth and mystery, challenging viewers to interpret its meaning. Dijsselhof's use of gestural strokes creates a dynamic, almost sculptural effect, further emphasizing the abstract nature of the work. "Studie" exemplifies Dijsselhof's artistic evolution toward a more expressive and experimental approach to drawing.
