Hoofden en handen c. 1679 - 1750

"Hoofden en handen" (Heads and Hands), an anonymous Dutch drawing from the late 17th to early 18th centuries, features a collection of studies focusing on the human figure. Displayed at the Rijksmuseum, the work showcases the artist's meticulous attention to detail in capturing the nuances of facial expressions, hair, and hand gestures. This type of study was common practice for aspiring artists, as it allowed them to refine their anatomical understanding and develop their drawing skills.
