Academiestudie naar een gips van een antiek beeld: detailstudie van een voet 1819 - 1881

This detailed pencil drawing by Johannes Tavenraat, created between 1819 and 1881, is a study of an antique sculpture's foot. Tavenraat, a Dutch artist born in 1809, focused on the anatomical details of the foot, capturing the intricate structure of the toes and the way the sandal wraps around the foot. This drawing, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, demonstrates the artist's meticulous attention to detail and serves as an example of academic study in 19th-century art.
