Hoofd van Boeddha 1943

This woodcut print, titled "Hoofd van Boeddha" (Head of Buddha), was created by Dutch artist Reijer Stolk in 1943. The piece features a simplified, yet evocative, depiction of the Buddha's face, highlighted by a prominent circle symbolizing the "Urna," a traditional mark on the Buddha's forehead believed to represent enlightenment. The composition's focus on the head, the closed eyes, and the serene expression evoke a sense of tranquility and spiritual contemplation, characteristic of Buddhist imagery. This artwork is part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam.
