Studies van voeten, hoofd en schouders van een op de rug geziene man 1608 - 1616

This drawing by Guido Reni, created between 1608 and 1616, showcases his mastery of anatomical detail. Entitled "Studies van voeten, hoofd en schouders van een op de rug geziene man," it features a detailed study of a man's feet, seen from the back. The use of red chalk on paper creates a delicate and precise depiction of the form and structure of the human body, typical of Italian Renaissance art. This drawing, now located in the Rijksmuseum, serves as a testament to Reni's skill and the importance of anatomical studies in the artistic process.
