Onderstel van een tafel 1876 - 1924

"Onderstel van een tafel" (Table Undercarriage), a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Gerrit Willem Dijsselhof (1866-1924), showcases the artist's keen eye for detail. Created between 1876 and 1924, the piece provides a close-up view of a table's undercarriage, emphasizing the intricate joinery and construction of the furniture. The artist's loose yet precise lines create a sense of dynamism and movement, capturing the essence of the object with minimal strokes. This study exemplifies Dijsselhof's ability to translate complex forms into simple, yet expressive, drawings, highlighting his talent as a draftsman and his fascination with the everyday objects that surrounded him. Currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, "Onderstel van een tafel" stands as a testament to the artistry found in everyday details.
