Figuurstudie van een vrouw op de rug gezien 1806

This red chalk drawing, "Figuurstudie van een vrouw op de rug gezien" (Figure study of a woman seen from behind), was created by Dutch artist Wouter Johannes van Troostwijk in 1806. The piece showcases Van Troostwijk's skill in capturing the human form, particularly the subtle curves and contours of the female back. This study, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, is a testament to the artist's talent and the enduring power of anatomical representation in art.
