Study of a Man, Seen from Behind c. 1629 - 1630

This simple yet powerful drawing, "Study of a Man, Seen from Behind," was created by Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn around 1629-1630. The study, housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures the essence of a single figure, seen from behind, through a series of deft lines. The artist's signature and the date "1629" are faintly visible in the bottom right corner, providing a glimpse into his early creative process. This drawing, characterized by its loose and expressive lines, exemplifies Rembrandt's early mastery of capturing human form.
