Mannen in historisch kostuum 1827 - 1891

This is a pencil sketch by Johannes Bosboom from the 19th century, depicting four figures in historical costumes. The work is comprised of several studies done on a single sheet of paper, the artist likely making these drawings to capture the details of clothing and poses he would later use in larger works. These sketches were likely created as preparation for a larger painting or series of paintings, demonstrating Bosboom’s approach to capturing human form and historical details. The artwork resides in the Rijksmuseum, providing valuable insight into Bosboom's creative process.
