Herten c. 1904 - 1906

"Herten" (c. 1904 - 1906) is a charcoal drawing by Gerrit Willem Dijsselhof, a Dutch artist known for his expressive landscapes and animal studies. The work features five graceful deer, rendered in a simplified, almost minimalist style. The artist's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and movement. The composition is balanced, with the deer arranged in a dynamic but harmonious way. Currently residing in the Rijksmuseum, "Herten" is a testament to Dijsselhof's talent for capturing the essence of his subjects with a few simple strokes.
