Studieblad met hoofden en handen c. 1727 - 1784

This study sheet by Giuseppe Bottani, a prominent Italian painter, features various anatomical studies executed with red chalk on paper. The drawing, dating from c. 1727-1784, showcases the artist's interest in capturing human form with precision. The sheet depicts two heads, one in profile and the other viewed from below, alongside three hands rendered in various poses. These anatomical studies were likely intended for the artist's own use, serving as references for his larger paintings and demonstrating the meticulous detail that characterized his work.
