Twee kinderhanden en -voeten 1773 - 1777

"Twee kinderhanden en -voeten" (Two Children's Hands and Feet) is a study in red chalk by the French artist Jean François Janinet. The print from 1773-1777, features four detailed depictions of a baby's hands and feet. The composition highlights the delicate form of the infant's anatomy, a characteristic theme of Janinet's works. This study, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, exemplifies the artistic pursuit of anatomical detail and the beauty of childhood during the 18th century.
