Study for the painting “Hector’s Farewell to Andromache”

Artist: Pompeo Batoni
Artwork: Study for the painting “Hector’s Farewell to Andromache”
Description: This is a preparatory drawing for the painting “Hector’s Farewell to Andromache”, which was painted by Pompeo Batoni in 1775. The drawing is in black and white chalk on blue paper. It is a study for the figure of Hector, who is shown seated on a rock, with his left leg crossed over his right. His head is turned to the left, and he is looking down at Andromache. The drawing is a fine example of Batoni’s skill as a draughtsman.
