Studie van een hand Possibly 1657

"Studie van een hand" (Study of a Hand) is a charcoal drawing created by Dutch artist Moses ter Borch in 1657. The drawing, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures a single hand in a relaxed pose, possibly resting on a surface. Ter Borch's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the subtle shading and anatomical accuracy of the hand. The small scale of the artwork suggests it was likely a study for a larger composition. This drawing is a testament to the artist's interest in human anatomy and his skill in capturing the delicate nuances of form.
