Studieblad met bomen, geometrische vormen en vingers 1874 - 1923

"Studie blad met bomen, geometrische vormen en vingers," created between 1874 and 1923 by Dutch artist Willem Witsen, is a charcoal drawing on paper that exemplifies his exploration of form and composition. The work features an abstract, almost geometric, depiction of a hand and its surrounding space, with the inclusion of geometric shapes and the suggestion of trees. This study, housed in the Rijksmuseum, reveals Witsen's interest in the expressive potential of line and form, and his early experiments with abstraction.
