Naakte vrouw in heuvellandschap 1913

"Naakte vrouw in heuvellandschap" (1913) by Lodewijk Schelfhout is a striking print depicting a nude female figure standing in a hilly landscape. The artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Schelfhout's distinctive style characterized by simplified forms and bold lines. The figure is rendered in a simplified, almost geometric fashion, contrasting against the detailed depiction of the surrounding landscape, emphasizing the figure's presence within the natural world. The composition uses strong diagonal lines to create a sense of depth and movement, drawing the viewer's eye through the scene. Schelfhout's work often explored themes of the human figure in relation to nature, and this print exemplifies his interest in capturing the essence of form and space through a simplified yet powerful aesthetic.
