Hoe c. 1941

"Hoe" is a detailed pen and ink drawing by Cornelius Christoffels, created around 1941. The artwork depicts a simple hoe, a tool used for gardening and farming. Christoffels' meticulous hatching and cross-hatching technique gives the drawing a sense of depth and texture, highlighting the worn surface of the tool. The drawing's composition is straightforward, showcasing the hoe against a plain background, emphasizing the object itself. This focus on a common tool might be considered a nod to the artist's fascination with everyday objects and their symbolic value.
