Drie schetsen van een vogel 1610 - 1680

Claude Lorrain, a renowned Baroque artist known for his landscapes, created "Drie schetsen van een vogel" (Three sketches of a bird) between 1610 and 1680. This detailed drawing, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Lorrain's meticulous approach to capturing the form and movement of a bird in flight. The delicate lines and subtle shading suggest the artist's close observation of nature, a hallmark of his work. The drawing is a testament to Lorrain's mastery of composition and his ability to convey the essence of his subject through precise and expressive strokes.
