Standing Man, Turned to the Left c. 1742 - 1757

This pen-and-ink drawing by renowned Italian artist Giovanni Battista Tiepolo depicts a standing man. Dating back to the mid-18th century, it captures the artist's mastery in capturing human form and movement through fluid lines and subtle shading. The figure, dressed in a flowing robe, is rendered with a sense of both realism and dramatic expression, typical of Tiepolo's style. The drawing exemplifies the artist's exploration of human anatomy and his interest in capturing the essence of his subjects.
