Gaetano Gandolfi
Bologna 1734–1802 Bologna
A Capriccio of Heads of Seven Young Women in elaborate Headdress
Pen and brown and red ink
171 x 221 mm
Executed in pen and brown and red ink, this is among Gaetano
Gandolfi’s finest drawings of capricci of heads to come
down to us. Very fine parallel and cross hatching combine
with small dots for a smooth surface effect reminiscent of stipple
engravings such as those Francesco Bartolozzi made in the 1760s after drawings by Guercino in the Royal collections. read more
