Studie voor een Atlant 1644 - 1718

"Studie voor een Atlant" is a drawing by Giuseppe Maria Mitelli, completed between 1644 and 1718. It is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum. The drawing depicts a nude male figure, likely intended as a study for a larger work featuring an Atlas figure. The delicate lines and soft shading of the drawing highlight the artist's mastery of anatomical detail and represent a typical example of Mitelli's artistic style, which often incorporated the principles of Italian Baroque art.
