Tekenvoorbeeld van twee écorchés 1820 - 1833

"Tekenvoorbeeld van twee écorchés" (Drawing Example of Two Écorchés), created by Jean Augustin Daiwaille between 1820 and 1833, showcases two anatomical studies, or écorchés, depicting the musculature of the human body in detail. The drawing presents a front and back view of the human form, highlighting the intricacies of the muscles, tendons, and ligaments. This anatomical study is typical of the artistic and scientific explorations of the 19th century, reflecting the growing interest in the human body. The piece, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Daiwaille's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the complexity of human anatomy through precise lines and shading.
