Onderboezem c. 1675 - 1686

"Onderboezem" (c. 1675-1686) is an etching by Cornelis (I) Danckerts, illustrating the human body using anatomical diagrams and a skeletal figure. The work, housed at the Rijksmuseum, displays the detailed musculature of three male figures, one in profile, one from the back, and another standing with arms outstretched, all positioned within a framework of geometric shapes. The intricate composition demonstrates the artist's interest in both scientific observation and artistic expression, highlighting the anatomical understanding of the human body prevalent during the 17th century.
