Vrouwenbad 1490 - 1500

"Vrouwenbad" (Women Bathing) is a 15th-century drawing attributed to the Monogrammist PM. This intricate composition, measuring just 196 mm by 164 mm, depicts a group of women and children in various poses, possibly engaged in a bathing ritual. The artist's attention to detail and anatomical accuracy in the figures is evident, showcasing the artistic trends of the era. The drawing is a prime example of the Monogrammist PM's masterful use of line and shadow, creating a sense of depth and realism. This intimate study of the human form likely served as a preparatory drawing for a larger artwork, reflecting the meticulous approach to artistic creation during the Renaissance.
