"Notities" (c. 1916) by Dutch artist Reijer Stolk (1896-1945) is a handwritten notebook page, possibly a personal journal entry, that is now part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum. The faded ink and the intimate nature of the writing offer a glimpse into the thoughts and daily life of the artist, making this a captivating example of a personal artistic document. The text, which appears to be in Dutch, is difficult to decipher but adds to the intrigue of this work.
