Studie van een voet voor de Doop van Christus 1868 - 1928

This charcoal drawing by Dutch Symbolist artist Jan Toorop depicts a detailed study of a foot, likely intended for use in his painting, "The Baptism of Christ" (1889). This preparatory study showcases Toorop's mastery of anatomy and his characteristic use of strong lines and shading to create depth and form. The drawing, housed in the Rijksmuseum, serves as a valuable insight into Toorop's creative process, highlighting the importance of careful observation and preliminary sketches in his artistic practice.
