About this work

This is a 1750 guidebook page copied from José de Ribera’s drawings. It shows a man’s head in three angles, simple lines only. The book teaches drawing basics by tracing Ribera’s work. Ribera was Spanish but worked in Italy. He drew strong, dark figures—no fancy colors. This copy keeps his bold style, not the original’s depth. See more of Ribera’s drawings at the Museum of Ethnography.
