Studie van een staande naakte jongeling met staf 1649 - 1684

"Studie van een staande naakte jongeling met staf" is a graphite drawing by Dutch painter Caspar Netscher. Created between 1649 and 1684, it's a study for a larger work and exemplifies Netscher's skill in depicting the human form. The dynamic pose of the nude youth, holding a staff, is captured with a light and expressive touch, highlighting the artist's keen observation of anatomy and gesture. Now housed in the Rijksmuseum, this small-scale drawing (286 mm x 196 mm) offers a glimpse into Netscher's artistic process and the elegance of his draughtsmanship.
