Twee zwemmende eenden 1878 - 1909

"Twee zwemmende eenden" (Two Swimming Ducks) is a lithograph on paper by Dutch artist Theo van Hoytema, created between 1878 and 1909. The artwork depicts two ducks swimming in a pond, one white and one black. The lithograph uses a distinctive swirling pattern in the water, a recurring motif in van Hoytema's work, to create a sense of movement and energy. The work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies van Hoytema's style, characterized by bold lines and a focus on natural subjects.
