Zes staande professoren c. 1936 - 1940

"Zes staande professoren" (Six Standing Professors) is a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Henk Henriët, created between 1936 and 1940. The work depicts six figures, likely professors, standing in a line, with one figure prominently gesturing. The drawing exhibits Henriët's distinctive style, characterized by simple lines and a focus on capturing the essence of his subjects. The drawing's loose and expressive nature provides a glimpse into Henriët's artistic process and his interest in capturing the essence of human figures. This piece is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, offering a valuable insight into Henriët's career, particularly his interest in academic figures and their representation.
