Plate 2: at top, the head of a young man, frontal view, at bottom, four eyes, from 'The Book for Learning to Draw' (Livre pour apprendre à dessiner) 1647 - 1652

This etching, "Plate 2: at top, the head of a young man, frontal view, at bottom, four eyes, from 'The Book for Learning to Draw' (Livre pour apprendre à dessiner)," created by Italian artist Stefano della Bella between 1647 and 1652, is a study in anatomical detail. The plate features a frontal portrait of a young man, his face rendered with precise lines, and four separate, detailed drawings of eyes, likely intended as exercises for aspiring artists. The work exemplifies della Bella's talent for capturing the human form, and its inclusion in "The Book for Learning to Draw" speaks to its educational value.
