Gipsmodel van Discuswerper 1874 - 1925

"Gipsmodel van Discuswerper" is a study of a discus thrower by Dutch artist Jan Veth. Completed between 1874 and 1925, the pen and ink drawing captures a dynamic pose, highlighting the muscular tension and balance of the athlete. This preparatory sketch, which is now housed in the Rijksmuseum, reveals Veth's meticulous attention to detail and mastery of anatomical form, typical of his academic style.
