Studies van ponen 1876 - 1924

Gerrit Willem Dijsselhof's "Studies van ponen" (1876-1924) is a drawing on paper showcasing his expertise in animal studies. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, features multiple sketches of stingrays, capturing their unique forms and movements. Executed in graphite, the work reflects Dijsselhof's keen observation and skilled hand in translating the natural world onto the paper. The gestural lines and nuanced shading offer viewers a glimpse into the artist's creative process and the beauty of marine life.
