Wolken en eenden 1870 - 1931

"Wolken en eenden" (Clouds and Ducks) is a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Willem Bastiaan Tholen. Created between 1870 and 1931, the work showcases Tholen's keen observation of nature. It is a study of ducks, likely drawn from life, with a few cloud formations in the background. The loose, expressive lines suggest the artist's quick and confident hand, capturing the essence of the subject. This drawing, now in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into Tholen's artistic process and his fascination with the natural world.
