Perspectiefoefening 1813

Catharina Kemper's 1813 "Perspectiefoefening" is a meticulous study of perspective. The drawing features geometric shapes and lines that represent the artist's exploration of the principles of perspective drawing, using a series of vanishing points and lines to create an illusion of depth. This practice drawing is typical of the academic art tradition of the time, revealing Kemper's mastery of the technical skills required to create lifelike imagery.
