"Monnik, rechts in profiel" (Monk, Right Profile) is a drawing by the Flemish Baroque master Peter Paul Rubens, created between 1587 and 1640. This detailed study showcases Rubens' mastery of capturing the human form, particularly in the figure's draped robe and the expressive lines of the monk's face. The drawing, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Rubens' fascination with both the physical and spiritual aspects of his subjects, highlighting the expressive power of his draftsmanship.
