The spider, centered in the lower middle part of the web, serves as a focal point. The web is elegantly detailed, with drops of dew highlighting its radial and spiral threading. This monochromatic piece uses strong contrast between the black and the white, giving a dramatic and meticulous portrayal of the spider and its web.In the overall composition, the boundaries of the web are defined by a decorative border that enhances the geometric precision of the web itself. The meticulous placement of each thread and dewdrop gives a sense of delicate balance and fragility. Dijsselhof’s careful observation and representation not only reflect his artistic skills but also his appreciation for the natural world, highlighting the spider’s role within it. The artwork can be seen as a celebration of nature's ingenuity, captured through the lens of an artist’s keen eye.
