Geabstraheerde sculptuur van een knielende man before 1961

This is a preliminary sketch for a sculpture by Hans Borrebach, a Dutch artist born in 1903 and died in 1991. The drawing, made before 1961, depicts a simplified, geometric human figure in a kneeling position, standing on a block. This sketch exemplifies Borrebach's interest in abstract and geometric forms, which he explored extensively in his sculptural practice. The minimalist style and reduction of the figure to its basic geometric components emphasize the artistic principle of form over representational realism. The inscription on the drawing indicates that the artist was developing the concept of the final sculpture. This preliminary work highlights the process of artistic development and the conceptual stage of creation.
