This drawing by Giulio Romano, a prominent figure in the High Renaissance, depicts a seated faun holding a cornucopia. The drawing, executed in pen and brown wash, showcases Romano's masterful handling of form and shadow. The faun's anatomy is rendered with a sense of dynamism, capturing the energy of this mythological figure. The drawing is likely a preparatory study for a larger work, demonstrating Romano's meticulous approach to composition and figure study. The verso of the sheet contains a sketch of a tree and a house, further showcasing the artist's versatility. The drawing is a valuable insight into Romano's artistic practice and the creative process behind his iconic works.
