Handen die de knop van een (wandel)stok vasthouden 1710 - 1772

This study, "Handen die de knop van een (wandel)stok vasthouden," was created by Dutch artist Petrus Johannes van Reysschoot between 1710 and 1772. The artist, who was active in the Netherlands in the 18th century, focused on detailed anatomical studies of the human form, as seen in this piece. The drawing depicts two hands, likely those of a man, in a slightly different configuration, possibly to demonstrate the varying angles at which the hands can grip a walking stick or walking cane. Van Reysschoot's work demonstrates his mastery of detailed anatomical studies.
