Twee figuren 1919

"Twee figuren" is a 1919 sketch by Dutch artist Reijer Stolk (1896-1945), housed in the Rijksmuseum. The minimalist drawing uses loose, gestural lines to depict two figures, likely a study for a larger work. The simplicity of the composition emphasizes the essence of form, suggesting a focus on capturing movement and emotion rather than precise detail. This piece exemplifies Stolk's exploration of expressionism, a style known for its emphasis on subjective experiences and emotional response over objective representation.
