About the Item

Italian Bolognese School, Late 17th Century Study of a Kneeling Young Man Red chalk (sanguine) on paper, circa 1680 This expressive sanguine drawing depicts a kneeling young man, rendered with confident, fluid strokes characteristic of the late 17th-century Bolognese School. The work is in good condition overall, with minor dark brown spots visible along the edges of the sheet. Likely a preparatory study for a larger oil painting, this drawing reflects the working methods of Baroque artists active in Bologna during the late 1600s. Contrary to the later romantic image of the painter working directly before the motif, artists of this period typically developed their compositions through careful study on paper. These drawings served as essential preparatory exercises for paintings executed later in the studio, allowing artists to refine gesture, anatomy, and light before committing the design to canvas.
