Studies van ponen 1876 - 1924

"Studies van ponen" is a charcoal drawing by Gerrit Willem Dijsselhof, created between 1876 and 1924. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, the artwork depicts a series of gestural lines, suggesting the forms of reclining figures, possibly female, with their limbs and torsos overlapping. Dijsselhof's work, often characterized by its expressive lines and abstract qualities, allows the viewer to interpret and engage with the subject matter. The drawing's simplicity and immediacy offer a glimpse into the artist's creative process and his exploration of the human form.
