Sheet of Studies: Heads, Hands, and Doves 1638 - 1721

"Sheet of Studies: Heads, Hands, and Doves" is a red chalk drawing by Luigi Garzi, completed between 1638 and 1721. The drawing, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, features a series of anatomical studies of heads, hands, and a dove, demonstrating Garzi's skill in capturing form and movement. The composition, while simple, showcases the artist's attention to detail and the subtle variations in human anatomy, making it a valuable example of Italian Baroque drawing.
