Twee personen bij een schouw 1519 - 1547

This drawing by Domenico Beccafumi, titled "Twee personen bij een schouw", depicts two figures in a room, likely a drawing study for a larger composition. The artist, known for his frescoes and altarpieces, employed a loose, gestural style in this silverpoint drawing. The figures are drawn with minimal detail, focusing on their postures and the implied space around them, typical of preparatory sketches. The fireplace in the background adds a sense of domesticity and warmth to the scene. This study, likely created between 1519 and 1547, offers a glimpse into the creative process of one of the most important artists of the Sienese Renaissance.
