Product Information
drawing for sale. Dated to the 18th century, this original drawing is composed of black chalk, highlighted with white chalk, on blue paper. The drawing studies review the artist’s practice, focusing on the geometry, contours, and balance of the subject’s head, hand, arms, and inaction. Such hand studies were common by many artists, from Francesco Fontebasso, Leonardo Divinco, and Andy Warhol.
The willow grove hues of the toned and aged paper create an old-world appearance for one’s interior wall decor, and the artist’s hand presents a pleasing variety of subjects to entertain the eye. Spanish painter Francisco Bayeu y Subias painted in the popular Neoclassic style of the time, and mainly focused his works on religion and history. His works are collected by numerous institutions worldwide, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Prado, and the J. Paul Getty Museum.
