Twee meisjes in gesprek in de duinen bij de zee 1903

"Twee meisjes in gesprek in de duinen bij de zee" (Two girls in conversation in the dunes by the sea) is a 1903 woodcut by Dutch artist Jan Toorop (1858-1928). The work, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts two women in conversation against a backdrop of dunes and the sea. The simplified lines and use of black and white create a striking visual effect that is characteristic of Toorop's style, often described as symbolist or Art Nouveau. The subject matter, which speaks to the natural world and human interaction, adds to the work's evocative nature.
