Grandgousier staand en schreeuwend 1939

"Grandgousier staand en schreeuwend" (Grandgousier Standing and Shouting) is a 1939 drawing by Dutch artist Henk Henriët (1903-1945). The work depicts a grotesque, exaggerated figure in a detailed rendering of clothing and facial features. The subject is likely inspired by the giant Grandgousier, a character in the satirical novel Gargantua and Pantagruel by François Rabelais. The drawing's humor and caricature style suggest a playful approach to the literary character, highlighting the artist's talent for capturing both humor and detail. It is currently part of the Rijksmuseum collection.
