cello-spelende vrouw 1906

"Cello-spelende vrouw" (Woman Playing the Cello) is a 1906 drawing by Dutch artist Reijer Stolk (1896-1945). The artwork utilizes a unique style of linework to depict the figure of a woman playing a cello. This abstract, contoured style emphasizes the contours of the human form, rather than realistic representation, echoing artistic trends of the early 20th century. The lines, drawn in shades of brown and black, create a sense of movement and energy, suggesting the music that is being played. The artist's use of simplified forms and dynamic lines adds a sense of dynamism and artistic expression to the drawing.
