Staand mannelijk naakt met een zwaard en een afgehouwen hoofd Possibly 1784

This charcoal drawing by Dutch artist Dirk Versteegh depicts a nude male figure holding a sword and a severed head. The figure's pose and the subject matter suggest a study for a larger work, perhaps a historical or mythological scene. Created around 1784, the artwork showcases Versteegh's skill in capturing anatomical detail and the dramatic intensity of the subject. The drawing's stark contrast and minimalist composition emphasize the figure's powerful stance and the violence of the act, making this a visually compelling and thought-provoking study.
