"Studie" is a c. 1840-1843 drawing by Dutch artist Sybrand Altmann, currently located in the Rijksmuseum. It features a blank page with faint pencil marks and is likely a study for a larger artwork. The minimalist aesthetic of the piece emphasizes the artist's preparatory process and provides insight into the initial stages of their creative practice. This study reflects the artist's dedication to careful observation and planning before executing finished works.
