Wenskaart met zes ganzen 1878 - 1917

"Wenskaart met zes ganzen" is a pencil drawing on paper by Dutch artist Theo van Hoytema, dating back to between 1878 and 1917. The drawing depicts six geese in a seemingly natural setting, possibly a meadow or pond, suggested by the presence of tall, thin lines representing reeds or grasses. The artist's use of delicate lines and subtle shading creates a sense of movement and life in the birds, capturing their characteristic posture and plumage. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a charming example of Van Hoytema's skill in capturing the beauty of everyday subjects through simple yet expressive means.
