Staande vrouw leunend naast een globe 1706

This delicate drawing, titled "Staande vrouw leunend naast een globe", was created in 1706 by the French artist Sébastien Leclerc I. Depicting a woman standing next to a globe, the work showcases Leclerc's masterful skill in capturing the human form with elegance and grace. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a prime example of 18th-century European art, showcasing the classical influence on artistic styles during this period. The drawing's small size, measuring 105 mm in height and 74 mm in width, highlights the artist's precise and refined approach to line work. This piece offers a glimpse into the artistic sensibilities of the time and is a testament to Leclerc's enduring talent as an artist.
