Negen oren 1820 - 1833

"Negen oren" (Nine Ears) is a detailed anatomical study by Jean Augustin Daiwaille, created between 1820 and 1833. This graphite drawing, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases the artist's meticulous attention to detail as he meticulously renders nine different perspectives of the human ear. Daiwaille's work is a testament to the precision and artistry involved in anatomical illustration during the 19th century. The study's clear lines and shading convey a sense of both realism and the artist's keen understanding of the human form, making it a valuable resource for art students and anatomy enthusiasts alike.
