Studie van zittende man met omgeslagen draperie c. 1703 - 1775

This red chalk drawing, "Studie van zittende man met omgeslagen draperie," by Louis Fabritius Dubourg (1693-1775) showcases the artist's mastery of anatomical detail and the rendering of drapery. The seated male figure is depicted in a relaxed pose, with his weight resting on his left leg, and his right leg casually crossed. The artist's attention to the subtle nuances of the figure's musculature and the flowing folds of the drapery adds a sense of realism and dynamism to the composition. The drawing, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Dubourg's skill in capturing the human form with precision and grace, making it a valuable example of his artistic approach.
