Studies van handen 1814 - 1862

This drawing, "Studies van handen," by Dutch artist Jan Adam Kruseman is a preparatory sketch for a larger artwork. Created between 1814 and 1862, it showcases Kruseman's focus on anatomical detail as he meticulously renders a hand in pencil. The hand study highlights the artist's skill in capturing the complexities of human form and is a valuable example of the practice and training of 19th-century academic art. The drawing is currently part of the Rijksmuseum collection.
