Visser met net 1878 - 1938

"Visser met net" (Fisherman with Net) is a charcoal drawing by Dutch artist Richard Nicolaüs Roland Holst. The drawing depicts a fisherman carrying a large net as he walks along the shoreline. Holst's use of charcoal creates a dramatic, almost somber mood, emphasizing the physicality of the fisherman's labor. The heavy lines and dark tones evoke a sense of the fisherman's resilience and the harshness of his environment. The drawing captures a moment of quiet contemplation, inviting the viewer to reflect on the relationship between man and nature.
