Ontwerp voor reclame van Nutrix beschuit 1876 - 1924

This pencil sketch by Gerrit Willem Dijsselhof is a design for an advertisement for Nutrix rusks. The design features two boats filled with rusks and a figure standing between them. This piece, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases the artist’s versatility in creating both fine art and commercial work. Dijsselhof was known for his illustrations, and this sketch shows the detail and skill he brought to even advertising art. The rough, gestural lines and the simple composition reflect the design's intended function: to be reproduced as an advertisement.
