Drie studies van een man, die door een kind aan de arm wordt getrokken 1519 - 1566

"Drie studies van een man, die door een kind aan de arm wordt getrokken" (Three studies of a man being pulled by a child), created by Daniele da Volterra between 1519 and 1566, is a captivating set of anatomical studies. The artwork features the artist's careful observation of the human form through the meticulous rendering of the figures, including the subtle play of light and shadow, capturing the dynamic interaction between the man and the child. This drawing is considered an example of Mannerism, a style that favored exaggerated poses, elongated figures, and complex compositions, and exemplifies da Volterra's dedication to anatomical precision and expressive line work, making it a valuable piece for understanding the development of artistic techniques during the Renaissance.
