Studieblad met twee mannenfiguren c. 1802 - 1850

This study sheet of two male figures, created by Tieleman Cato Bruining sometime between 1802 and 1850, is a fine example of the artist's meticulous approach to drawing. The figures, depicted in simple, yet expressive lines, are rendered with careful attention to detail, showcasing Bruining's mastery of anatomy and form. The composition, showcasing two figures engaged in different activities, is suggestive of an artist's study of the human figure, which likely served as preparatory sketches for future works. This etching, measuring 165 mm in height and 222 mm in width, provides a glimpse into Bruining's creative process and his keen observation of the human form.
