Studies van liggende man 1869

"Studies van liggende man" (1869), a pen-and-ink drawing by Johannes Tavenraat, depicts two figures lying down. The figures are rendered with quick, expressive lines, suggesting a rapid sketch of a study of the human form. The drawing is housed in the Rijksmuseum and demonstrates Tavenraat's interest in capturing fleeting moments in human anatomy. The work is a testament to the artist's keen observation and ability to convey movement and form with minimal detail.
