Jongen geknield bij de spaken van een wiel en een perspectiefstudie 1707 - 1740

This is an etching by Jan de Lairesse, a Dutch painter and draftsman, dating back to 1707-1740. The image depicts a perspective study with a young boy kneeling by a wheel, along with a series of figures and vases illustrating the concepts of perspective and vanishing points. Lairesse was known for his contributions to the theory of perspective, and this etching demonstrates his approach to teaching the art of perspective drawing through visual representation. The etching "Jongen geknield bij de spaken van een wiel en een perspectiefstudie" is a testament to Lairesse's dedication to art education and his interest in the scientific principles of perspective.
