Assumption (recto) Portrait Heads, various Sketches (verso) n.d.

Guido Canlassi's "Assumption (recto) Portrait Heads, various Sketches (verso)" is a detailed drawing of a woman being lifted into the heavens by two cherubs. The artist's use of shading creates a sense of depth and dimension, highlighting the woman's flowing robes and the cherubs' delicate forms. The drawing is a preparatory study for a larger painting and showcases the artist's ability to capture the human form with precision and grace. The piece, held in the Art Institute of Chicago, offers a glimpse into the artistic process of a 17th-century Italian artist.
