Studieblad met schelpjes 1876 - 1951

"Studie blad met schelpjes" is a detailed pencil study by Dutch artist Theo Nieuwenhuis, a prolific artist known for his landscapes and still life paintings. This artwork is a collection of studies of different types of seashells. Nieuwenhuis uses precise, detailed lines to capture the textures and forms of the shells, which are arranged across the paper in a casual, yet meticulous way. The inscription below each shell suggests that the artist was observing and documenting the shells with scientific precision.
