Linkerhand en manchet 1610 - 1641

"Linkerhand en manchet" (Left Hand and Cuff) is a black chalk drawing by Anthony van Dyck, dating from 1610 to 1641. This study, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, focuses on the intricate detail of a hand, possibly that of a nobleman, resting on a surface, with only the cuff of the sleeve visible. Van Dyck’s meticulous attention to anatomy and form, evident in the delicate lines and shading, is characteristic of his style.
