Kreeften 1876 - 1924

"Kreeften" (Lobsters) is a study of the crustacean by Dutch artist Gerrit Willem Dijsselhof, created between 1876 and 1924. The study consists of four sketches of lobsters rendered in pencil, featuring anatomical details and various perspectives of the creature, such as the "licht" (light) and "twee" (two), demonstrating Dijsselhof's interest in capturing the form and movement of his subject. The drawing resides in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and measures 260 x 329 mm.
