1487
watercolor
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Watercolour, copy after A young man introduced to the Liberal Arts, Sandro Botticelli in the Musée du Louvre (Paris) is a 1487 watercolor by Sandro Botticelli, a Early Renaissance work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This picture shows a group of people outdoors. A man in a red hat stands with his hand out, like he’s greeting someone. Behind him, a woman in a long white dress talks to a kneeling woman. Three kids sit on the ground nearby. The colors are soft—lots of browns, reds, and blues. Trees and rocks form the background. The man’s pose looks like he’s teaching or presenting something. The scene feels calm but busy, with everyone focused on each other. Check out Sandro Botticelli for more of his work.
A watercolour copy after Botticelli’s 1487 painting depicts eight young women, seven seated and one guiding a young man by the hand, with a child’s head appearing in the left corner.
