Detail- en bewegingstudies van een sterlet 1876 - 1924

"Detail- en bewegingstudies van een sterlet" (Detail and Movement Studies of a Sturgeon) is a graphite drawing by Gerrit Willem Dijsselhof, created between 1876 and 1924. Currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, the artwork depicts a series of quick sketches exploring the form and movement of a sturgeon. Dijsselhof's expressive lines and nuanced shading capture the fish's sinuous body and dynamic energy. The drawing demonstrates Dijsselhof's interest in capturing the essence of movement through gestural studies, a common theme in his oeuvre.
