Notitie 1900 - 1931

"Notitie" is a sketch by Dutch artist Willem Bastiaan Tholen, created between 1900 and 1931. The drawing, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, showcases Tholen's signature style of impressionistic realism, characterized by quick strokes and subtle shading. This minimalist approach emphasizes the artist's focus on capturing the fleeting essence of a subject, rather than detailed representation. Although the subject of the sketch remains unclear, it offers a glimpse into Tholen's artistic process and his unique way of capturing the world around him.
