Zittende vrouw, naar rechts gewend en achterom kijkend 1560 - 1600

"Zittende vrouw, naar rechts gewend en achterom kijkend" is a drawing by Giovanni Antonio da Pesaro, created sometime between 1560 and 1600. The artwork depicts a seated woman in a flowing robe, her back turned to the viewer, but her head tilted in a gesture of looking back. The drawing is executed in a simple, linear style, focusing on the figure's form and drapery. The artist's subtle shading creates a sense of volume and depth. The work showcases Da Pesaro's talent for capturing human anatomy and conveying the grace of movement. This drawing demonstrates the artist's interest in the human form, which was a central theme in his work. The work is a study for a larger painting, and its simple composition and focus on the figure make it an excellent example of a drawing as a preparatory tool for painting.
