Putti, een engel met een toorts en figuren 1860 - 1861

This pencil sketch by Isaac Gosschalk, titled "Putti, een engel met een toorts en figuren", is a collection of five quick studies, or "croquis". The composition features several figures, including angels, putti and a couple of figures possibly drawn from life. These quick studies reveal Gosschalk's ability to capture the human form in motion. The artist uses his sketching to capture the essence of movement in an expressive, yet loose manner. The figures appear to be posed in various positions, both standing and flying, suggesting that Gosschalk was practicing his figure drawing skills. This sketch demonstrates Gosschalk's artistic abilities in capturing both the human form and the beauty of movement.
