Jonge tekenaar en twee aanzichten van het lichaam van een twaalfjarige jongen 1723

Hieronymus Sperling's 1723 etching, "Jonge tekenaar en twee aanzichten van het lichaam van een twaalfjarige jongen," is a detailed anatomical study of a young boy. The artwork depicts a young artist, seated on a platform, observing two male figures, one kneeling and another standing. The figures are presented in a diagrammatic manner, emphasizing their proportions and demonstrating the ideal measurements for a 12-year-old boy. This print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Sperling's meticulous attention to detail and his interest in anatomical studies during the Baroque era.
