Jakob worstelend met de engel 1869 - 1925

"Jakob worstelend met de engel" is a pencil sketch created by Dutch artist Antoon Derkinderen between 1869 and 1925. The artwork depicts the biblical story of Jacob wrestling with the angel, with the angel’s wings and the figures' postures captured in dynamic strokes. The drawing's minimal detail suggests a preliminary sketch, possibly for a larger work, and demonstrates Derkinderen's mastery of line and composition. This sketch is a poignant reminder of the artist's practice and his exploration of religious themes through visual art.
