Description from the seller
The drawings by Rein Dool form an important part of his oeuvre and clearly reveal his distinctive style. They often combine refined linework with expressive simplicity, with human figures, portraits and everyday scenes at the center. His drawings serve as both studies for paintings and independent works, often in ink, pencil or watercolor, in which he subtly plays with light, shadow and contours.
