Gans 1876 - 1924

"Gans" is a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Gerrit Willem Dijsselhof, completed between 1876 and 1924. The work, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a study of a goose, executed in a loose and gestural style, capturing the essence of the bird's form. The composition consists of three sketches, each portraying the goose from a different angle, demonstrating Dijsselhof's keen eye for detail and the bird's anatomy. The artist's interest in capturing the natural world through his artwork is evident in this study.
