Rotskust c. 1916

"Rotskust" (Rocky Coast) is a pencil drawing created by Dutch artist Reijer Stolk circa 1916. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures a simple yet powerful image of a rocky coastline. The delicate lines and subtle shading of Stolk's drawing evoke a sense of ruggedness and natural beauty. While a quick sketch in its execution, the piece reflects the artist's ability to capture the essence of a landscape with minimal strokes. Stolk's work often focused on nature and the Dutch countryside, creating a visual record of the world around him.
