Standing Boy c. 1650 - 1655

"Standing Boy" is a pen and ink drawing on paper created by Dutch artist Willem Drost around 1650-1655. The drawing depicts a young boy standing in a simple pose, with his hands clasped in front of him. The loose, expressive lines of the drawing create a sense of movement and energy, capturing the fleeting moment of a boy's posture. Drost, known for his masterful draftsmanship, emphasizes the boy's youthful features and the subtle folds of his clothing, using a range of hatching techniques to create depth and texture.
