Een hand die een bel vasthoudt 1588 - 1660

"Een hand die een bel vasthoudt" is a graphite drawing by Italian Baroque artist Giacomo Cavedone, executed between 1588 and 1660. The drawing depicts a hand holding a bell, likely a preparatory study for a larger artwork. Cavedone was known for his mastery of drawing and his meticulous attention to detail, which is evident in this study of the hand's anatomy and the bell's form. This piece demonstrates Cavedone's skill in capturing the subtle nuances of human anatomy and the play of light and shadow. The drawing, measuring 250mm x 380mm, is an example of Baroque art's focus on realism and the depiction of everyday objects.
