EDITORS COMMENTS
This study for a sculpture, titled "Study for Sculpture of William III" by John Michael Rysbrack (1694-1770), dates back to the 18th century. The Belgian artist, also known as Johannes Michel or Jean Michel Rysbrack, is renowned for his Baroque and classical depictions of animals and figures. This monochrome drawing on cream laid paper showcases the artist's exceptional skill in using pen and ink with brown wash over red chalk. The subject of the study is an equestrian portrait of King William III of England, also known as William III of Orange or Prince of Orange. William reigned from 1689 until his death in 1702. The king is depicted in regal attire, seated confidently on his horse, with a determined expression on his face. The horses, both in the background and foreground, are intricately detailed, their muscles and forms expertly captured in the drawing. This study is a testament to Rysbrack's mastery of the art of drawing and his ability to convey the power and majesty of his subjects. The drawing is currently on exhibit at the Art Institute of Chicago, a world-renowned art center and gallery, where it is a cherished piece of heritage art and an important representation of the Baroque era. The study serves as a conceptual bridge between the drawing and the final sculpture, providing a glimpse into the artistic process and the artist's intent. The rich cultural heritage of this drawing continues to inspire and captivate audiences, making it an essential addition to any collection or exhibition of historic and artistic significance.
