Angelica and Medoro

About this work

This sketch shows two figures tangled in loose, swirling lines. One person sits with their head tilted back, while the other leans over them, arms outstretched. The paper is rough, and the pencil strokes are quick and uneven, like hurried thoughts. The artist left some writing in the corner—maybe a title or their name—but it’s hard to read. This style feels more like a rough draft than a finished work. Next, check out Baroque to see how artists used drama and movement in their work.
