Liggende figuur met gesloten ogen 1922

"Liggende figuur met gesloten ogen" (Reclining Figure with Closed Eyes) is a 1922 lithograph by Dutch artist Henri Braakensiek. The artwork depicts a single, reclining figure with closed eyes, the contours of the body outlined in bold, expressive strokes. The figure is rendered in a stylized, almost abstract manner, typical of Braakensiek's later work, which was often characterized by a focus on form and line. The use of a single color, a reddish brown, creates a sense of depth and shadow, highlighting the figure's form. The work, measuring 354 mm in height and 500 mm in width, is a testament to Braakensiek's skillful handling of line and tone, making it an intriguing piece for art enthusiasts interested in expressive graphic art and the figural representation in the early 20th century.
