Drie vissen 1899 - 1920

"Drie vissen" (Three Fishes) is a pen and ink drawing by Dutch artist Jan Mankes, created between 1899 and 1920. The artwork features three distinct depictions of fish, each presented in a separate rectangular frame. Mankes was known for his meticulous detail and realistic portrayal of animals, and "Drie vissen" exemplifies his keen observation of nature. The use of black ink on a white background creates a stark contrast, highlighting the intricate details of the fish's scales and fins. This intimate artwork demonstrates Mankes' skill in capturing the essence of his subject matter.
