Figuurstudie c. 1916

"Figuurstudie" (c. 1916) is a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Reijer Stolk, renowned for his Expressionist style. This quick sketch, likely a preparatory study for a larger work, exemplifies Stolk's signature use of bold lines and expressive forms to capture the essence of the human figure. The drawing's abstract quality emphasizes the artist's focus on movement and emotion rather than anatomical detail. This work, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, provides a glimpse into Stolk's creative process and his engagement with the human form.
