Studie van een arm 1868 - 1928

"Studie van een arm" (Study of an Arm) is a charcoal drawing by Dutch artist Jan Toorop, created between 1868 and 1928. The drawing, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, captures the essence of the human form through a close-up study of a bent arm. Toorop’s use of charcoal creates a sense of depth and volume, emphasizing the contours and textures of the arm. The simplicity of the composition and the artist's focus on the anatomical detail make this drawing a testament to Toorop's mastery of figurative art and his keen interest in the human body.
