Fragment van staande figuur met uitgestrekte arm 1600 - 1690

This red chalk drawing, "Fragment van staande figuur met uitgestrekte arm" (Fragment of a standing figure with outstretched arm), is a study by Peter Paul Rubens, a master of the Baroque era. Dated between 1600 and 1690, the drawing likely represents a preliminary sketch for a larger work. The faint, delicate lines of the drawing showcase Rubens's masterful understanding of human anatomy and his ability to capture movement with precision. The drawing is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
