Naakte man, staand met armen omhoog 1668 - 1671

"Naakte man, staand met armen omhoog" (Naked Man Standing with Arms Up) is a 17th-century etching by Dutch artist Jan de Bisschop. Created between 1668 and 1671, the artwork showcases a standing nude male figure with his arms raised above his head. De Bisschop, known for his meticulous anatomical studies, expertly captures the human form through a detailed and realistic approach. The etching, housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases the artist's fascination with the complexities of the body, a common theme in Dutch art during this period. The artwork's small dimensions, measuring 235mm in height and 106mm in width, enhance the intimacy and focus on the subject matter.
