Struisvogels aan een waterkant c. 1904 - 1906

Gerrit Willem Dijsselhof's "Struisvogels aan een waterkant" (c. 1904-1906) is a pencil drawing depicting three ostriches near a body of water. The ostriches are drawn with a simplified style, emphasizing their long necks and legs. The delicate lines create a sense of movement and grace, with the ostriches seemingly poised on the edge of the water. The ducks swimming in the water add a playful contrast to the majestic ostriches, creating a harmonious composition that captures the beauty of nature. This small-scale drawing, measuring just 122mm by 182mm, showcases Dijsselhof's ability to capture the essence of his subjects through minimalist means.
