1615

Dominant colour
Comte Anibal Altemps is a 1615 by Ottavio Leoni, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a serious-looking man in a high collar. His hair is curly and short, and his face is drawn with loose, quick lines. The fabric of his shirt has a textured look, almost like it’s woven. The signature in the corner says it’s from 1615, and the name at the bottom calls him "Comte Anibal Altemps." The drawing feels unfinished, like the artist was still working on it. If you like this style, check out chiaroscuro.
Ottavio Leoni (1578 – 4 September 1630) was an Italian painter and printmaker of the early-Baroque, active mainly in Rome.
