Halfnaakt jongetje 1538 - 1588

"Halfnaakt jongetje" is a pen and ink drawing created by Paolo Veronese between 1538 and 1588, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum. The drawing showcases the artist's preliminary sketches for a larger composition, likely a painting. The details of the figures, particularly the use of linework to define anatomy, highlight Veronese's mastery of draftsmanship. These studies, typical of the preparatory process for Renaissance artworks, provide insights into the artist's working method and creative process.
