Een grote en twee kleine studies van een hand met onderarm 1610 - 1641

This is a black chalk drawing by Anthony van Dyck, a Flemish Baroque artist, depicting a study of a hand and forearm. Van Dyck was known for his portraits, but he also created numerous drawings of anatomical studies, like this one, often as preparatory work for larger compositions. The artwork is now housed at the Rijksmuseum and, despite its small size, shows van Dyck's meticulous attention to detail and mastery of anatomical form. The drawing, dated between 1610 and 1641, showcases the artist's early exploration of human anatomy, a common practice in the Baroque period.
