This drawing by Italian Baroque artist Carlo Maratti, housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, is a study of a seated figure holding a book. Executed in black chalk on paper, this sketch likely served as preparatory work for a larger composition. Maratti was known for his refined style, influenced by the late Renaissance masters, evident in the figure's subtle drapery and nuanced anatomy. The sketch's simple composition emphasizes the figure's form, providing a glimpse into Maratti's artistic process.
