Studies of the Head of an Infant (after a three-dimensional model) 1572 - 1574

"Studies of the Head of an Infant (after a three-dimensional model)" is a drawing executed by Francesco Morandini, known as Poppi, in 1572–74. This artwork is held in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Poppi created this silverpoint drawing using detailed and precise lines to capture the delicate features of a baby's head from various angles. The repeated rendering of the head, likely based on a three-dimensional model, demonstrates Poppi's mastery of anatomy and his interest in capturing naturalism in his art.
