Pleisterstudie van een zittend naakt kind 1717 - 1762

"Pleisterstudie van een zittend naakt kind" (Plaster Study of a Sitting Nude Child) is a charcoal drawing on paper by Dutch artist Cornelis Joseph d’Heur, dated 1717-1762. The drawing is a study for a larger work, possibly a sculpture or painting, and features a detailed rendering of a nude child seated on a rock. The artist's meticulous attention to anatomical detail is evident in the child's rounded forms and expressive pose, showcasing d'Heur's skill in capturing the human figure. This type of study was common in the 18th century, as artists used them to refine their understanding of anatomy and composition before embarking on larger-scale works.
