Staande figuur Possibly 1781 - 1788

"Staande figuur" is a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Jabes Heenck, created sometime between 1781 and 1788. This drawing, measuring 172 mm in height and 82 mm in width, features a figure standing alone, their back turned to the viewer. The figure is dressed in a simple, loose-fitting garment and a hat. The artist's subtle use of shading creates a sense of depth and volume, highlighting the figure's form and the texture of the clothing. Heenck's artwork is characterized by its intimate scale and focus on everyday life, making it a valuable resource for studying the everyday dress and social customs of the late 18th century.
