Twee giraffen c. 1904 - 1906

"Twee giraffen" (Two Giraffes), a simple yet expressive pencil drawing by Gerrit Willem Dijsselhof, captures the essence of these graceful animals. Created around 1904-1906, the artwork showcases Dijsselhof's ability to convey form and movement with minimal lines. The piece depicts a taller giraffe, seemingly grazing on foliage, with a smaller giraffe standing beside it. The background, rendered with palm trees, suggests a natural habitat. The artwork is currently part of the Rijksmuseum collection.
