Soldaat die een vijand onderwerpt c. 1701

Jacob Toorenvliet’s *Soldaat die een vijand onderwerpt* (c. 1701) is a dynamic drawing that depicts a victorious soldier standing over a fallen enemy. The soldier is shown with a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, while the defeated enemy lies on the ground, his sword at his side. The dramatic composition and detailed anatomical study of the figures reflect Toorenvliet's interest in historical and military subjects. This drawing demonstrates Toorenvliet’s adept use of pen and ink to create expressive lines and textures. *Soldaat die een vijand onderwerpt* exemplifies the Dutch Baroque style, emphasizing dynamism and realism in its depiction of human form and action.
