Zwemmende eend 1923 - 1924

"Zwemmende eend" (Swimming Duck) is a woodcut print created by Dutch artist Julie de Graag between 1923 and 1924. The artwork features a simplified, white silhouette of a duck against a black background, creating a striking contrast. The composition is centered on the duck, emphasizing its movement through the water, suggested by a few thin lines. De Graag's style is known for its stark simplicity and strong graphic qualities, characteristic of the early 20th century Dutch art movement. This woodcut is a powerful example of her ability to capture the essence of her subject through bold, simplified forms.
