Ooievaars c. 1904 - 1906

"Ooievaars" is a pencil sketch on paper by Gerrit Willem Dijsselhof, a Dutch artist known for his landscapes and animal studies. Created between 1904 and 1906, the artwork depicts two storks, one standing tall with its long neck extended, the other partially obscured, in a simple yet expressive style. Now housed in the Rijksmuseum, this small-scale drawing exemplifies Dijsselhof's talent for capturing the essence of his subjects with delicate lines.
