Vignet met twee egels en een klimopblad 1892

"Vignet met twee egels en een klimopblad" (Vignette with two hedgehogs and an ivy leaf) is a woodcut by Dutch artist Gerrit Willem Dijsselhof, created in 1892. This small, intimate artwork, measuring only 30 mm by 50 mm, depicts two stylized hedgehogs facing each other with a single ivy leaf perched on their heads. The simple black and white composition against a green background evokes a sense of nature and tranquility. This work is a prime example of Dijsselhof's use of woodcut as a medium to express his appreciation for the natural world. Today, the artwork is housed in the Rijksmuseum, a renowned institution in Amsterdam.
