Naakte man die een kous aantrekt 1675 - 1680

"Naakte man die een kous aantrekt" (Naked Man Putting on a Stocking) is an etching by Dutch artist Richard Collin, created between 1675 and 1680. The artwork depicts a nude male figure seated on a cloth, in the act of pulling up a stocking. The composition is balanced by the inclusion of a human skeleton in various poses, scattered above the figure. This anatomical study, with its focus on the human form and its skeletal structure, demonstrates Collin's interest in the relationship between body and bone. The etching is a fine example of anatomical illustration, a genre popular in the 17th century that combined artistic skill with scientific accuracy. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
