Two horned hunters grip a long-necked bird amid dense woodcut foliage

Two horned, bare-bodied male figures crouch amid dense, stylised foliage rendered in bold black woodcut line, together grasping a long-legged, long-necked wading bird with scaled wings, its head hanging limp. Both figures are bearded, the one at the left bending forward, the one at the right leaning in from above. Chevron and scale patterns mark their hair and haunches against the dark ground.

Henri van der Stok (1870–1946) turned to art after fourteen years as a Dutch naval officer. Largely self-taught apart from lessons with Philippe Zilcken and Willem van Konijnenburg, he worked in The Hague as a painter, sculptor, stained-glass designer and printmaker, making etchings, engravings, lithographs and woodcuts. He won a silver medal for his woodcuts in Utrecht and exhibited at the 1925 Paris Exposition des Arts Décoratifs. His prints are held by the Rijksmuseum, Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen and the Victoria and Albert Museum.
