Pelikanen 1876 - 1924

"Pelikanen" is a drawing by Gerrit Willem Dijsselhof, created between 1876 and 1924, now housed in the Rijksmuseum. The artwork depicts a pelican, likely inspired by nature, using a simplified, stylized approach. The artist's use of line and shading gives the drawing a sense of movement and dynamism, typical of his style. Dijsselhof's work often explored the themes of nature and the human condition, often through the lens of symbolism. This drawing, with its focus on a single animal, exemplifies his exploration of the natural world and his expressive style.
