Handen 1710 - 1772

"Handen" (Hands) is a drawing by Petrus Johannes van Reysschoot, a Dutch artist active in the 18th century. The artwork features two detailed studies of hands, rendered in delicate pencil strokes, capturing the intricate details of the anatomy and positioning. This study exemplifies the artist's focus on anatomical precision and technical mastery, characteristic of the Baroque period. The sketches are likely preparatory studies for a larger painting, demonstrating the meticulous process of artistic creation.
