Original fileThis drawing features a large, soft red chalk study of a standing nude child with curly hair, typical of the putti or infant figures in High Renaissance painting. To the left, a separate, minute sketch in pen and ink depicts a group of four male heads in profile, meticulously copied from a woodcut by the German artist Albrecht Dürer. The sheet provides a glimpse into the workshop practice of studying anatomy and the direct influence of Northern European printmaking on Italian artists.
Albrecht Dürer
The small male heads are direct copies of figures from Dürer's woodcuts, illustrating the transmission of visual ideas between the Northern and Italian Renaissance.
