Gezicht en twee aanzichten van het lichaam van een driejarige jongen 1723

This 1723 anatomical drawing by Hieronymus Sperling is a detailed study of the human body. It showcases the human head, hand, and body of a three-year-old child, meticulously rendered and divided by gridlines. The drawing was likely used as a tool for teaching anatomy and proportion during the 18th century, a time when artists were interested in scientific observation and precision. The work, housed at the Rijksmuseum, reveals the influence of Renaissance anatomical studies on later artists, demonstrating the continued significance of human form in art.
