Twee studies van een dansende man 1735 - 1807

"Twee studies van een dansende man" (Two Studies of a Dancing Man) is a pencil drawing on paper by Dutch artist Hendrik Pothoven, created between 1735 and 1807. The drawing depicts a single figure, likely a man, in two different poses, perhaps representing steps in a dance. The sketches, made in light strokes, emphasize the movement and flow of the body, revealing Pothoven's interest in capturing the dynamics of human motion. This work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Pothoven’s skill in capturing fleeting moments of action.
