Gekroonde naakte vrouw, mogelijk Juno 1696

Hendrick van Beaumont's 1696 drawing "Gekroonde naakte vrouw, mogelijk Juno" is a study in red and black chalk. The composition features a reclining nude female figure, potentially representing the Roman goddess Juno. Her form is rendered with careful attention to detail, showcasing Beaumont's skill in capturing the human form. The figure's pose, with her body draped in a flowing cloth, adds a sense of movement and dynamism to the artwork. This drawing is a fine example of the academic style of the late 17th century, and it's a fascinating insight into Beaumont's artistic process.
