Plantenstudie 1876 - 1951

"Plantenstudie" (Plant Study), a delicate pencil drawing by Dutch artist Theo Nieuwenhuis, depicts a single stem of a plant with leaves and a single fruit at the top. This botanical study, created between 1876 and 1951, showcases Nieuwenhuis's precise and detailed approach to capturing the intricate beauty of nature, highlighting the delicate veins of the leaves and the subtle forms of the plant. The drawing, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the artist's talent for naturalistic observation and his interest in the intricacies of the natural world.
