This black chalk drawing by Gerard ter Borch, dated after 1627, depicts two standing figures, both men wrapped in cloaks, the left facing away from the viewer, and the right turned slightly to the side. This is a "studieblad," a Dutch term for a drawing used as a study for a larger work. The simplicity of the lines and the focus on anatomical detail suggest this study was meant to be utilized as a reference for a figure painting. The drawing is currently held in the Rijksmuseum.
