Hand die een voorwerp vasthoudt 1884 - 1952

"Hand die een voorwerp vasthoudt" (Hand Holding an Object) is a drawing created between 1884 and 1952 by Reinier Willem Petrus de Vries, a Dutch artist known for his studies of the human form. The artwork depicts a simple yet powerful image: a hand grasping an unseen object. The minimalist style of the drawing emphasizes the delicate lines and contours of the hand, allowing the viewer to focus on the anatomical details. This piece is an excellent example of de Vries's dedication to the study of human anatomy through expressive linework, reflecting his keen interest in the form and movement of the human body.
