"Schelp op tafel" (Shell on the Table), a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Julie de Graag (1877-1924), depicts a simple still life arrangement. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, features a single scallop shell resting on a draped cloth, emphasizing the subtle textures and contours of the objects. De Graag’s careful rendering of the shell and the cloth in a muted palette highlights her skill in capturing the nuances of light and shadow. The artwork showcases her keen eye for detail, typical of Dutch realism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
