"Rechte en gebogen lijn" (Straight and Curved Lines) is a drawing by Jacob Toorenvliet, dating back to around 1701. The work showcases the artist's focus on geometric forms and their relationship to the surrounding space. The drawing features a simple yet elegant composition consisting of a straight line and a curved arc, demonstrating the artist's interest in exploring the principles of form and line in their purest form.
