Beeldhouwkunst in de zestiende eeuw 1873

This 1873 drawing by Dutch artist Wilhelmus Petrus van Geldorp depicts a scene from the 16th century, likely a workshop of a sculptor or a studio where artists are working. It depicts a group of men around a sculpted figure, with some studying its form and others drawing or carving. The scene likely aims to show the study of classical art and the importance of the human figure in the 16th-century art world. The drawing is a good example of 19th-century academic art, with its precise lines and attention to detail, which were popular during the artist's time.
