Hagedis 1887 - 1924

"Hagedis" is a detailed pen and ink drawing by Dutch artist Julie de Graag, created between 1887 and 1924. It depicts a lizard in a simplified, almost skeletal form, its long tail twisting and turning in a graceful arc. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to de Graag's meticulous attention to detail and her keen observation of nature. The simple composition and precise lines lend the drawing a sense of both scientific accuracy and artistic beauty.
