Schapen 1906 - 1945

"Schapen" (1906-1945) is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist Reijer Stolk, housed at the Rijksmuseum. The drawing depicts three sheep, rendered in a simple, expressive style. The artist's focus on form and movement is evident in the sheep's rounded bodies and the dynamic lines of their legs. This quick sketch reveals Stolk's keen eye for detail and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects with a few deft strokes, demonstrating his mastery of animal studies and naturalistic drawing.
