1704
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Sketch of a Hand (verso) is a 1704 by Pierre L'Enfant, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This is a blank, aged piece of paper with faint pencil sketches on it. The marks look like quick, light drawings—maybe hands or simple shapes. Some writing is scrawled in the corners, and the paper itself is yellowed and worn. The Cleveland Museum of Art holds this as a sketch by Pierre Lenfant, likely from the 1700s. These kinds of drawings were often practice work for artists learning to capture forms. Check out Pierre Lenfant to see more of his work.
Pierre L'Enfant (August 26, 1704 – June 23, 1787) was an 18th-century French artist who was known for his battle scene paintings in the court of Louis XV.
