Knielende man met een pikhouweel 1906 - 1945

"Knielende man met een pikhouweel" is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist Reijer Stolk, dating from 1906-1945. The piece, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a man kneeling, potentially holding a pickaxe, with a seemingly abstract figure floating above. The work exemplifies Stolk’s exploration of form and movement, a characteristic of his artistic style. The rough lines and unfinished quality of the sketch contribute to a sense of dynamism and spontaneity.
