Studie van een rechterarm 1710 - 1777

"Studie van een rechterarm" is a study in red chalk on paper by Dutch artist Mattheus Verheyden, created between 1710 and 1777. The drawing depicts a right arm and hand, realistically rendered in a manner characteristic of the Baroque period. The detail of the hand and the anatomy of the arm highlight Verheyden's skill as a draftsman, showcasing his mastery of form and proportion. This intimate study of the human figure, perhaps a preparatory work for a larger composition, exemplifies the meticulous attention to detail prevalent in Verheyden's oeuvre.
