Zittende en staande jongen met stok 1625 - 1629

This drawing by Abraham Bloemaert, titled *Zittende en staande jongen met stok*, showcases the artist's mastery of figure studies. Created between 1625 and 1629, the work depicts four figures in various poses, using simple lines and hatching to capture their form and movement. The figures appear to be sketches for a larger composition, highlighting Bloemaert's focus on anatomical accuracy and the subtle nuances of human posture. The use of a pen and ink on paper is characteristic of Bloemaert's style, and the loose, gestural quality of the lines suggests a quick and confident hand. This drawing, housed in the Rijksmuseum, serves as a fascinating glimpse into Bloemaert's creative process.
