Studieblad met ganzen 1887 - 1924

This is a study sheet of geese by Dutch artist Julie de Graag, dating from between 1887 and 1924, just before her death in 1924. The sheet is filled with quick sketches of geese in various poses, some standing, some flying, and others resting. De Graag's sketches are loose and expressive, capturing the movement and form of the birds with just a few lines. The study sheet is a testament to the artist’s dedication to observing and understanding the natural world. These sketches are a valuable resource for any artist, as they provide insight into De Graag's working process and demonstrate her skill in capturing the essence of her subject matter. This study sheet, now held in the Rijksmuseum, is an excellent example of the artist's skill in depicting the natural world and her dedication to her craft.
