Terrour (sic) or Fright after 1698

"Terrour (sic) or Fright" is a red chalk drawing on paper by Eduardus Jacobus dating after 1698 and housed at the Art Institute of Chicago. The work depicts a close-up view of a man's face in a state of terror, his mouth wide open and eyes bulging. The exaggerated features are typical of anatomical studies of the period, which aimed to capture the intensity of human emotions through detailed observation. The artist used hatching and cross-hatching techniques to create a sense of volume and texture, especially in the hair and the skin of the face, which appears flushed and taut.
