From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Two Draped Women Standing on Either Side of a Herm is a 1490 by Filippino Lippi, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows two tall, thin women draped in flowing robes. They stand side by side, facing slightly inward, with one hand resting on a small, rounded figure between them. The background is mostly blank, and the lines are light and sketchy, with some white added for highlights. The women’s robes are drawn with loose, confident strokes, and the small figure they frame looks like a head or bust. This style was common in Renaissance art for symbolic scenes. Next, look up Lippi, Filippino to see more of his work.
Filippino Lippi (probably 1457 – 18 April 1504) was an Italian Renaissance painter mostly working in Florence, Italy during the later years of the Early Renaissance and first few years of the High Renaissance.
