Gekrulde lijnen 1710 - 1772

"Gekrulde lijnen" is a sketch by Petrus Johannes van Reysschoot, a Dutch artist born in 1702. This artwork, created between 1710 and 1772, is composed of a series of loose, gestural lines that appear as abstract shapes, reminiscent of the style of abstract expressionism. The artist’s exploration of line and form creates a sense of movement and energy on the paper, perhaps capturing a fleeting observation of the world around him. The simplicity of the drawing allows for a meditation on the artistic process itself, showcasing van Reysschoot’s spontaneous approach.
