Studie van een hand met onderarm, stekend uit een mouw 1603 - 1662

This charcoal drawing, created by Flemish painter Anthony van Dyck between 1603 and 1662, showcases his mastery of anatomical detail. The study focuses on a single, outstretched hand and forearm, delicately rendered in subtle shades of gray. Van Dyck's meticulous approach to capturing the form and texture of the hand, along with the soft folds of the sleeve, is typical of his detailed studies, which would have been used as references for his later paintings. This drawing is a testament to his artistic skill and his dedication to the meticulous study of the human form, as seen in his later works like "Portrait of Charles I".
