Mandlig modelstudie, stående 1671 - 1738

This red chalk drawing, titled "Mandlig modelstudie, stående" (Male Model Study, Standing), was created by Hendrik Krock between 1671 and 1738, the years of his life. The drawing is a study of the human form, specifically of a male nude. This delicate and precise work, currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, exemplifies the artist's keen observation of anatomy and his use of red chalk to capture the nuances of the figure. The drawing, measuring 410 mm in height and 245 mm in width, is a testament to Krock's mastery of the academic tradition of figure drawing.
