Kangoeroe c. 1904 - 1906

"Kangoeroe" is a simple yet expressive charcoal drawing created by Dutch artist Gerrit Willem Dijsselhof around 1904-1906. The drawing depicts a kangaroo in profile, its long tail curving gracefully behind it. Dijsselhof, known for his naturalistic style, captures the essence of the animal with a few deft lines, highlighting its unique anatomy and stance. This small-scale work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the artist's fascination with the natural world.
