This self-portrait by Dutch artist Henk Henriët, created in 1941, depicts the artist floating in a landscape. The pencil drawing, part of the Rijksmuseum collection, uses a simple composition and subtle shading to convey a sense of weightlessness. The artist's outstretched arms and the hazy landscape evoke a dreamlike atmosphere, perhaps reflecting the anxieties of wartime. Henriët, known for his expressive figurative works, tragically passed away in 1945.
