Studies van een sterlet, met kleurnotities 1876 - 1924

"Studies van een sterlet, met kleurnotities," a detailed pencil study of a sterlet fish by Gerrit Willem Dijsselhof, is part of a series of studies for the artist's larger artwork "Sterlet," housed in the Rijksmuseum. The work shows Dijsselhof's interest in meticulous observation, capturing the delicate anatomy of the fish with precise lines and shading, creating a sense of movement. The piece, completed between 1876 and 1924, reveals the artist's dedication to scientific accuracy, as evident in the annotations on the sketch.
