Zwarte lijster 1878 - 1917

"Zwarte lijster" is a drawing by Dutch artist Theo van Hoytema, created between 1878 and 1917. The artwork depicts a blackbird, with its characteristic black plumage and yellow beak, standing on a branch or ground, suggesting a natural environment. Van Hoytema's attention to detail is evident in the realistic rendering of the bird's feathers and the subtle use of light and shadow. This drawing, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, showcases van Hoytema's talent for capturing the beauty and intricacies of the natural world.
