Studie voor een naakte, vliegende engel 1668 - 1671

This etching by Dutch artist Jan de Bisschop is a study for a nude, winged angel. Dated 1668-1671, this detailed drawing showcases the artist's mastery of anatomy and perspective as the angel's body appears in flight with an almost lifelike realism. This piece, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the artist's skills and serves as a study for a larger project. The use of hatching and shading give a sense of volume and texture to the figure, highlighting the muscular form of the angel and emphasizing the dynamism of its movement.
