Spakenburgse vrouw 1948

"Spakenburgse vrouw" (1948) is a woodcut by Dutch artist Jo Bezaan (1894-1952), showcasing a woman from Spakenburg, a town known for its traditional clothing. Bezaan's stark black and white style captures the essence of the woman's attire, emphasizing her traditional garb and the geometric patterns woven into her dress. This print, currently in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of Bezaan's signature style, blending the representational with a strong geometric and graphic sensibility.
