De bron 1883 - 1934

"De Bron" (The Spring) is a 1934 woodcut by Johannes Frederik Engelbert ten Klooster, a Dutch artist known for his stylized depictions of the human form. This print features a central female figure, surrounded by a flourishing garden of stylized flowers, leaves, and birds, all rendered in stark black and white. The composition is framed by a large black circle at the top, representing the sun or perhaps a metaphorical wellspring. This minimalist yet expressive piece, measuring 325 mm by 265 mm, showcases Klooster's skill in capturing the essence of nature through graphic lines and contrasts.
