Roofvogel 1927

"Roofvogel" (Roof Bird) is a woodcut print created by Johannes Frederik Engelbert ten Klooster in 1927. The image depicts a bird of prey perched on a branch with a mouse in its talons. The artist's signature style of black and white woodcut printmaking, with bold lines and stark contrasts, is evident in the image. The simplified details and strong geometric forms create a sense of movement and energy, highlighting the predatory nature of the bird. This print was created for the 1927 Christmas issue of the Dutch magazine "De Wereldkroniek".
