Kauw 1883 - 1931

"Kauw" is a black and white ink drawing by Johannes Frederik Engelbert ten Klooster, created between 1883 and 1931. This striking artwork features a single crow, rendered in a bold and expressive style, its feathers seemingly captured in a single, fluid movement. The artist's use of black ink against a light background highlights the bird's form, creating a sense of dynamism and energy. The crow stands amidst a cluster of leaves, suggesting a natural setting, further contributing to the sense of realism. This artwork is an excellent example of ten Klooster’s mastery of ink drawing, showcasing his ability to capture both the beauty and the power of nature in a single, elegant image.
