Winterkoninkje op besneeuwde tak 1878 - 1907

"Winterkoninkje op besneeuwde tak" (Winter Wren on a Snow-Covered Branch) is a drawing by Dutch artist Theo van Hoytema, created between 1878 and 1907. The drawing, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a small bird perched on a snow-laden branch. Van Hoytema, known for his naturalistic style, captures the delicate details of the winter landscape and the bird's plumage, using a muted palette of grays and browns. The artwork showcases the artist's keen observation of nature and evokes a sense of tranquility and solitude in the winter setting.
