Schetsblad 1770 - 1787

"Schetsblad" is a sketch by Dutch artist Jan Brandes. It depicts two figures, one standing and one seated, in a simple, loose style. The work was created between 1770 and 1787, during Brandes' early career, and showcases his early exploration of human form and composition. The minimal detail and emphasis on line suggest a focus on capturing the essence of the figures rather than meticulous realism. The sketch provides a glimpse into the creative process of this 18th-century artist, known for his historical and genre paintings.
