Print from Drawing Book c. 1610 - 1620

This print from Luca Ciamberlano’s drawing book depicts a profile portrait of a man with a long beard and receding hairline. The print is a study in the style of Italian Renaissance art, with intricate detail and a focus on the human form. The artist's careful hatching technique creates a sense of volume and texture, and the deep shadows enhance the dramatic chiaroscuro effect. This work is a fascinating glimpse into the artistic practice of the early 17th century, offering a refined example of the portraiture that was popular at the time.
