Figuur met opgeheven armen en een naakte vrouw c. 1916

"Figuur met opgeheven armen en een naakte vrouw" (Figure with Raised Arms and a Nude Woman) is a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Reijer Stolk, created around 1916. It is a preliminary study for a larger work and exemplifies Stolk's artistic practice of exploring human anatomy and form. The composition is a study of the human figure, with minimal detail and loose lines suggesting a sense of movement. The drawing is a testament to Stolk's use of expressive lines and his interest in the human form as a subject of artistic exploration. This piece, housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the creative process of this Dutch artist.
