Studie c. 1811

"Studie" is a watercolor study by Dutch artist Andreas Schelfhout, created around 1811. It is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. This piece demonstrates Schelfhout's early exploration of watercolor techniques. The artwork, a loose, abstract composition with washes of pale color, shows the artist's early experimentation with the medium, capturing the movement and texture of light and shadow. The work foreshadows Schelfhout's later mastery in landscape painting.
