Been 1836

"Been" is a woodblock print by the Belgian artist Alexander Cranendoncq, created in 1836. The work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a small, intricate carving of a single human leg, meticulously rendered in a detailed, almost geometric style. The print demonstrates Cranendoncq's interest in the human form and his skill in woodblock printing. The piece's stark simplicity and focus on a single anatomical detail make it a compelling example of 19th-century printmaking.
