Naakte zittende vrouw 1884 - 1952

Reinier Willem Petrus de Vries's "Naakte zittende vrouw" is a black and white woodcut print depicting a nude woman sitting with her legs crossed, her left arm wrapped around her right knee. The artist's signature is present in the lower left corner. The artwork was created between 1884 and 1952, showcasing de Vries’s stylistic evolution through the use of strong lines and contrasting tones. The subject matter of the nude, a recurring motif in de Vries's oeuvre, is treated with an almost minimalist approach, highlighting the artist's interest in form and simplicity. The print, measuring 246 mm in height and 306 mm in width, captures the essence of the female figure in a bold and striking manner.
