Twee Afrikaanse krijgers c. 1916 - 1945

"Twee Afrikaanse krijgers" is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist Reijer Stolk, created sometime between 1916 and 1945. The artwork features two figures, likely representing African warriors, drawn in a simplified, almost childlike style. The figures are composed of geometric shapes, with the focus on their elongated limbs and elaborate headwear. Stolk, known for his drawings of figures and landscapes, captures a sense of movement and dynamism in this piece. The drawing, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, provides an insight into Stolk’s creative process and his unique interpretation of African culture.
