Allegorical Figure (recto)

About this work

This sketch shows a seated figure with a relaxed pose, one arm resting on a large cushion. The lines are loose and quick, almost like a hurried sketch. The paper is light brown, and the drawing looks like it was done with a soft pencil or charcoal. The figure’s face is turned slightly away, and the hands are drawn in a way that feels natural but not perfectly detailed. The artist left some areas rough, giving it a sketchy, unfinished look. If you like this style, look up Renaissance.
