  • About the artwork
    [EN]
    The work, Opus 3961, was made on 11 February 1930 in Albert Plasschaert's idiosyncratic style. He used strong contour lines for the main figures, and created texture with nervous lines and markings.

    In the main image, two women viewed in profile can be seen. The woman on the left looks up, possibly at the line drawing of a woman's head hovering above their heads. On the right, the woman has her eyes closed and head tilted down, apparently in contemplation.

    On the lower margin he created a visual predella where he titled, signed and dated the work.

    Dit werk, Opus 3961, werd gemaakt op 11 februari 1930, in de stijl die kenmerkend is voor Albert Plasschaert. Hij gebruikte sterke contourlijnen voor de hoofdfiguren. Hij gaf het beeld textuur met een netwerk aan nerveuze lijnen en markeringen.

    In de hoofdafbeelding zijn twee vrouwengezichten in profiel te zien. De vrouw links kijkt omhoog, mogelijk naar de lijntekening van een vrouwenhoofd dat boven hun hoofden zweeft. De rechtervrouw heeft haar ogen gesloten en het hoofd omlaag gekanteld – ogenschijnlijk in gedachten verzonken.

    Aan de onderzijde maakte Plasschaert een visuele predella, waar hij het werk betitelde, signeerde en dateerde.
