Staande figuur met een opgeheven arm 1892 - 1913

This is Bramine Hubrecht's ‘Standing Figure with Raised Arm,’ drawn with pencil, and it's like a quick thought captured on paper. The lines are tentative, searching, which to me shows the beauty of artmaking as a process. It’s not about getting it right, but about the exploration. The texture comes from the varying pressure of the pencil, some lines are bold, others are almost invisible. There’s this one area, that scribble at the top, it almost looks like the figure’s thoughts escaping. It reminds me of Cy Twombly, his messy, energetic lines that feel both chaotic and perfectly composed. Hubrecht’s sketch is like a quiet conversation with Twombly’s wild gestures, a reminder that art is an ongoing dialogue, full of different voices and perspectives.
