Twee eenden en een hoofd c. 1883 - 1914

"Twee eenden en een hoofd" (Two Ducks and a Head) is a sketch by Dutch artist Floris Arntzenius, created sometime between 1883 and 1914. The work depicts two ducks, one upside down, rendered in a gestural, loose style with a mixture of graphite and red chalk. The sketch is likely a study for a larger painting and exemplifies Arntzenius's interest in capturing the essence of animals through quick, expressive strokes. This intimate sketch reveals the artist's working process and offers insight into his fascination with nature.
