Schetsen van de dochters van Cecrops 1611 - 1616

This drawing by Peter Paul Rubens from 1611-1616, titled "Schetsen van de dochters van Cecrops" (Sketches of the Daughters of Cecrops), depicts four figures in various poses. The delicate lines and dynamic compositions showcase Rubens' mastery of the human form, a hallmark of his artistic style. The sketches likely served as preparatory studies for a larger artwork, highlighting Rubens' meticulous approach to composition and anatomy. The work is a testament to Rubens' ongoing exploration of classical mythology and his contribution to the Baroque art movement, and is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
