Leeg aquarium 1876 - 1924

"Leeg aquarium" (Empty Aquarium) is a pencil drawing by Gerrit Willem Dijsselhof, a Dutch artist known for his abstract and experimental works. Created between 1876 and 1924, the drawing is characterized by its minimalist approach, using lines and shading to suggest form and depth. The work evokes a sense of emptiness and contemplation, inviting the viewer to interpret the abstract forms and imagine their own meaning. Dijsselhof's work was often inspired by his surroundings and personal experiences, and this drawing, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to his artistic exploration of space and form.
