Gezicht op Adlerhorst 1922 - 1926

"Gezicht op Adlerhorst" (View of Adlerhorst) is a 1922-1926 ink drawing by Dutch artist Reijer Stolk (1896-1945), currently held by the Rijksmuseum. The artwork depicts a stylized, almost abstract, landscape with jagged peaks and a winding path leading up to a rocky outcrop, which appears to be a bird's nest. This drawing demonstrates Stolk's interest in capturing the essence of nature through simplified forms, characteristic of his style, a blend of Expressionism and Art Nouveau. The use of black ink and a fine line enhances the sense of depth and mystery, while the inclusion of text adds a narrative element, further enriching the viewer's engagement with the artwork.
