Studie van mannelijk naakt, zittend met gestrekte arm 1703 - 1775

This detailed study of a nude male figure, created by Louis Fabritius Dubourg between 1703 and 1775, is a prime example of anatomical studies prevalent during the Baroque period. The drawing depicts a seated figure with extended arm and leg, emphasizing the artist's skill in capturing human form and proportion. Dubourg's meticulous line work and subtle shading bring depth and realism to the figure, highlighting the muscular structure and the artist's profound understanding of anatomy. The composition's simplicity further underscores the focus on the human body, making this a valuable example of academic art in the Dutch tradition. It is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
