"Stilleven 4" is a black and white etching by Dutch artist Lau Heidendael, created in 1973. The work, featuring a still life of a shadowy corner in a room with a piece of furniture and other objects, is a prime example of the artist's signature minimalist style. The use of cross-hatching to create the illusion of light and depth is characteristic of Heidendael's work. The piece is framed by a thick white border, adding to the minimalist aesthetic of the print.
