Stilleven met kan en asbak 1900

"Stilleven met kan en asbak" (Still Life with Jug and Ashtray), a 1900 woodcut by Dutch artist Julie de Graag, depicts a simple arrangement of everyday objects. The minimalist composition, featuring a single jug and an ashtray, exemplifies the artist's focus on capturing the essence of form and texture through precise linework. The detailed crosshatching creates a sense of depth and volume, highlighting the rustic character of the objects. The artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies De Graag's contributions to the development of woodcuts as a medium for artistic expression in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
