Studie c. 1901

"Studie" is a charcoal drawing created by Dutch artist Gerrit Willem Dijsselhof around 1901. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum and is a simple yet impactful study in form and texture. The composition is dominated by a large, dark mass of charcoal, applied in loose, gestural strokes, giving it a sense of depth and movement. The drawing is executed on a lined paper, which adds another layer of visual interest and reinforces the idea of a quick sketch or study. This artwork is a fascinating example of Dijsselhof's exploration of abstract forms and his unique approach to drawing.
