Iseppo and Adriano da Porto 1551

This 1551 drawing by Paolo Veronese, titled "Iseppo and Adriano da Porto", features two men standing side by side. It is a preparatory drawing for a larger composition, likely a painting, and showcases Veronese's masterful use of line and shading, capturing the figures' postures and expressions. The drawing's brown tones and delicate lines create a sense of intimacy and highlight the artist's attention to detail. Currently housed in the Louvre, this work exemplifies Veronese's style and influence in the development of 16th-century Venetian art.
