Studies van een engel, een man, een ezel en een konijn c. 1600 - 1625

This drawing by Gerard ter Borch, dating from around 1600-1625, showcases the artist's talent for capturing human and animal forms. The composition features five individual studies: an angel kneeling with a book, a man standing with his hands tucked into his coat, a donkey, a rabbit, and a man leaning against a pillar. These seemingly unconnected figures offer a glimpse into ter Borch's observational skills and artistic exploration of different poses and perspectives. The simplicity of the pen and ink drawing emphasizes the artist's focus on capturing the essence of each subject. The work is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
