Twee schetsen van de arm van een drinkende man 1821 - 1891

This pencil sketch by Guillaume Anne van der Brugghen, titled "Twee schetsen van de arm van een drinkende man," depicts two studies of a man's hand holding a drinking glass. The artist, who lived from 1812 to 1891, used a light touch, suggesting the rapid gesture of sketching. The simple composition and loose lines focus on the anatomy of the hand and its interaction with the glass, creating a sense of immediacy and capturing the fleeting moment of drinking. This is a fine example of a preparatory study for a larger composition or a finished work. The quick and expressive lines suggest that this artwork likely serves as a practice piece.
