Twee kraaien 1872 - 1897

"Twee kraaien" (Two Crows) is a woodcut by Belgian artist Henri-Charles Guérard, created between 1872 and 1897. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum and features a bold, red-brown depiction of two crows against a pale background. Guérard's simplified, almost graphic style captures the birds' sleek forms and their sharp, intelligent gazes, creating a visually striking and intriguing composition. The woodcut exemplifies the use of line and tone to create a powerful image.
