Mannenkop met gesloten ogen 1759

"Mannenkop met gesloten ogen" is a 1759 etching by Danish artist Christian Bernhard Rode. The print depicts a detailed study of a man's head in profile, with his eyes closed and his mouth slightly open. The work showcases Rode's skill in depicting human anatomy with great precision. This intricate depiction of the head, likely inspired by classical sculpture, emphasizes the realistic qualities and the artist's mastery of light and shadow in a small format. The work is housed in the Rijksmuseum, offering a glimpse into the artistic practices of the 18th century.
