Laokoon. Laokoons højre ben 1628

"Laokoon. Laokoons højre ben" is a 1628 drawing by the Flemish artist Willem Panneels (1600-1634). The drawing depicts a detailed study of the right leg of the Laocoon, a famous ancient Greek sculpture depicting the Trojan priest Laocoon and his sons being attacked by serpents. Panneels's precise rendering of the musculature and form of the leg showcases the artist's keen observation and mastery of anatomical detail. This drawing is a valuable example of the artistic study of classical sculpture during the Baroque period. It is currently housed at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
