Studie 1881 - 1927

"Studie" is a pencil drawing on paper by Johan Antonie de Jonge, a Dutch artist active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The artwork depicts a simple sketch of a starburst in the upper left corner of the page, suggesting a preliminary study for a larger composition. The sparse and subtle lines of the drawing, rendered in a loose and gestural style, are characteristic of de Jonge's work. The artwork is dated between 1881 and 1927, spanning a significant portion of the artist's career. The simplicity and unfinished nature of the work suggest a moment of exploration and experimentation, characteristic of the artist's process.
