1574
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Copy of an Antique Statue of a Standing Woman (two views), over a Sketch of a Putto is a 1574 by Jacopo da Empoli, a Renaissance work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows two views of a standing woman’s body—one from the back, one from the front. Her hair is drawn in quick, loose strokes, and her posture is natural but simple. The lines are light and rough, like a quick study rather than a finished drawing. The artist seems to be practicing how to draw the human body from life, copying an older statue. The paper looks old and yellowed, with visible texture. Next, check out Renaissance art to see how artists studied figures this way.
Jacopo da Empoli, also known as Jacopo Chimenti, was an Italian Florentine Reformist painter.
