Sketches of Male Heads (recto); Queen and Page (verso) n.d.

This pen and brown ink drawing by Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo features a collection of studies for male heads on the front (recto) and a drawing of a queen and page on the back (verso). The front is notable for its dynamic, expressive linework, characteristic of Tiepolo's draftsmanship. These sketches, possibly preparatory studies for a larger work, provide a glimpse into the artist's process, showcasing his skill in capturing individual character and anatomical detail. The drawing's placement at The Art Institute of Chicago allows for a detailed examination of this insightful example of Tiepolo's masterful drawing technique.
