About the Item

Francesco Bartolozzi (1727–1815) — Red Chalk Drawing, 18th Century Medium: Red chalk on paper Artist: Francesco Bartolozzi (attr.) Origin: Italy, 18th Century Frame Dimensions: Approx. 56 x 44 cm Sight Dimensions: Approx. 36 x 26 cm Condition: Excellent antique condition, with light even toning consistent with age. An evocative red chalk (sanguine) drawing attributed to the celebrated Italian engraver and draughtsman Francesco Bartolozzi, dating from the 18th century. Rendered with remarkable sensitivity and finesse, the composition captures a dynamic figural scene — typical of Bartolozzi’s expressive linework and classical inspiration. Executed on laid paper, the drawing showcases masterful control of chiaroscuro and anatomical detail, with flowing drapery and fluid gesture conveying a strong sense of movement and emotion. Likely conceived as a preparatory study or an autonomous work, it stands as a testament to Bartolozzi’s role in bringing the elegance of the Florentine and Venetian schools into the English Rococo and Neoclassical art circles. Condition Note: The drawing has undergone careful professional conservation. A vertical fissure in the center of the sheet has been discreetly mended. Additionally, areas that showed signs of paper humidity — particularly around the margins — have been stabilized and reinforced. The overall integrity of the image remains intact, and the restoration has preserved its historical and visual impact.
