Vissen 1876 - 1924

"Vissen" (Fish), a pencil drawing by Gerrit Willem Dijsselhof, is a study of marine life created between 1876 and 1924. The drawing, housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts two fish in a loose, gestural style, likely a preparatory sketch for a larger work. Dijsselhof, known for his landscapes and seascapes, captures the movement and form of the fish with expressive lines, showcasing his artistic mastery. This work provides a glimpse into the artist's creative process, revealing his keen observation and skillful hand in capturing natural forms.
