Studie c. 1887 - 1888

"Studie" is a charcoal drawing on paper by Dutch artist Willem Witsen, dated c. 1887 - 1888. The drawing, located in the Rijksmuseum, depicts two simple forms: a butterfly wing and a dark, abstract shape resembling a tree or a clump of foliage. Witsen's minimalist approach and use of loose, gestural lines contribute to the drawing's atmospheric quality, hinting at a fleeting moment captured in time.
