Kastanje 1922

"Kastanje" is a 1922 woodcut by Dutch artist Henri Braakensiek (1891-1941). The artwork depicts a close-up view of a chestnut leaf with a distinctly abstract style. The blue and white tones create a sense of depth and texture, highlighting the intricate details of the leaf's veins and form. Braakensiek's work often focused on nature and its inherent beauty, exploring the interplay of light and shadow through his use of bold lines and expressive brushstrokes.
