Vogel op een paal aan een waterkant c. 1916

"Vogel op een paal aan een waterkant" (Bird on a Pole by the Water) is a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Reijer Stolk, created around 1916. The artwork depicts a seagull perched on a pole, with another seagull flying in the background. The artist's use of line and hatching, particularly to depict the water, creates a sense of movement and rhythm. The composition, with the bird on the pole as the focal point, is simple but effective in capturing the essence of the subject. This drawing is housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcasing Stolk's talent for capturing fleeting moments in nature.
