Blank, bortset fra enkelt sætning, en tilføjelse til modstående side 1913 - 1914

This is a page from a sketchbook by J.A. Jerichau II, created at an unspecified date. The drawing, executed with pencil, presents a study in contrasts, primarily between the marked absence and minimal presence. The composition is dominated by the off-white page, its texture and subtle imperfections creating a field of quiet visual interest. This expanse is interrupted by a single, handwritten sentence in the lower center. The script introduces a dynamic tension, challenging the viewer to consider the relationship between text and void. This interplay might reflect early 20th-century philosophical themes questioning conventional forms of representation. Jerichau destabilizes the traditional role of the sketchbook as a repository of images, prompting reflection on language and negative space. The work invites us to consider how a seemingly blank canvas can function as a potent site of meaning.
