Studieblad met meervallen 1876 - 1951

"Studie blad met meervallen" is a pencil drawing created between 1876 and 1951 by Dutch artist Theo Nieuwenhuis. This study sheet showcases Nieuwenhuis's meticulous attention to detail as he captures the anatomy and movement of catfish. Five distinct sketches depict the fish from various angles, highlighting their characteristic long barbels and streamlined bodies. The piece is a testament to Nieuwenhuis's mastery of drawing and his fascination with the natural world. The work is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
