Sketches after Rubens
1944

A scanned page from an artist's sketchbook filled with various ink drawings of mythological figures and muscular human forms. The sketches are dynamic and detailed, capturing different poses and movements. Some figures are labeled with names like "Triton" and "Centaur," indicating their mythological nature. The page is annotated with numbers next to each drawing, possibly referencing a catalog or study sequence. The top of the page contains handwritten text in German, attributing the sketches to the artist Peter Paul Rubens, with a date reference of January 15, 1914. The paper shows signs of age with slight discoloration and is punched with holes on the left side, suggesting it was once bound or filed.
