Zittende naakte vrouw met een hoed 1906 - 1945

Reijer Stolk made this sketch of a seated nude woman with a hat with pencil on paper. It's a study, you know? A way of thinking through seeing. The lines are quick, searching, like the artist is trying to catch a fleeting thought. There's a real tenderness in the way he renders the figure. Look at the hatching that creates form around her breast and thigh. It's not about perfection, it's about the process, the act of looking and feeling. It makes me think of other artists who use line in a similar way, like Egon Schiele, another artist who wasn't afraid to be vulnerable in his work. But Stolk's sketch is quieter, more introspective. It's a reminder that art is a conversation, an ongoing exploration of what it means to be human. And sometimes, the most profound statements are the ones that are whispered, not shouted.
