Vier ogen 1820 - 1826

"Vier ogen" is a pencil drawing by Jean Augustin Daiwaille depicting four detailed close-ups of a human eye. Created between 1820 and 1826, the drawing is a testament to the artist's meticulous attention to anatomical detail and the intricate workings of the human eye. This small, intimate study, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the meticulous approach to anatomical observation prevalent in 19th-century art. The realistic representation, with its subtle shading and delicate lines, captures the unique beauty of the human eye.
