Design for Two Masks Shaped as Satyr and a Winged Medusa Head 1732 - 1802

This ink drawing by Carlo Bianconi, titled "Design for Two Masks Shaped as Satyr and a Winged Medusa Head," depicts two masks, one a satyr and the other a winged Medusa head. Bianconi's detailed, expressive lines and bold contrasts are characteristic of his work, drawing the viewer's eye to the dramatic details of the masks, such as the satyr's beard and the Medusa's snarling expression. This small, yet striking drawing, exemplifies Bianconi's talent for capturing the essence of classical mythology through the medium of drawing.
