Artist: Palma il Giovane
Artwork: Figure Studies with Seated Female Holding a Book
Description: This is a pen and brown ink drawing over black chalk on paper. It is a study of a seated female figure holding a book. The woman is shown in profile, with her left hand holding the book and her right hand resting on her lap. She is wearing a simple dress with a V-shaped neckline. Her hair is long and flowing, and she has a serene expression on her face. The drawing is a study for a larger work, and it is a fine example of Palma il Giovane’s skill as a draughtsman.
