Vijf studies 1682 - 1706

"Vijf studies" is a series of five anatomical studies by French artist Jean Lepautre, created between 1682 and 1706. The etching depicts various body parts, including the torso of a man, a head in profile, and a hand holding a piece of fabric. The detailed rendering of the musculature and anatomy showcases Lepautre's mastery of the human form. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Lepautre is known for his work as an engraver and printmaker, and his studies of anatomy contributed significantly to the development of artistic representation of the human body.
