Figuren in een prauw met een net vol bagage te Accra 1906 - 1945

This intricate artwork by Reijer Stolk depicts a scene of figures crammed into a small boat, their bodies contorted and their faces obscured by a net filled with luggage. The delicate lines, etched onto a dark wooden background, create a sense of claustrophobia and urgency. The work, created between 1906 and 1945, captures the harsh realities of travel and migration, hinting at the challenges faced by individuals seeking new beginnings. The artwork, now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, offers a glimpse into the artist's fascination with human interaction and the complexities of life in transit.
