Schetsblad met studies van twee goudwinden 1876 - 1924

"Schetsblad met studies van twee goudwinden" is a pencil and charcoal drawing on paper by Gerrit Willem Dijsselhof. The work, housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts two fish, likely carp or golden orfe, swimming in a stream or pond. This preparatory study, executed sometime between 1876 and 1924, reflects Dijsselhof’s interest in observing and capturing the natural world through his art. The simple lines and subtle shading of the drawing create a sense of movement and depth, characteristic of his artistic style.
