Notitie over Venus 1900 - 1903

"Notitie over Venus" (Note on Venus) is a blank page from a sketchbook by Dutch artist Antoon Derkinderen, dated between 1900 and 1903. The page is likely a record of Derkinderen's creative process as he explored the subject of Venus. The blankness of the page invites speculation about what might have been conceived, planned, or even sketched before it was erased or left unfinished. Derkinderen's work often explored themes of nature and the human condition, and this sketch suggests a moment of contemplation and preparation before the final artwork took shape.
