Jeune Homme, Vu De Profil; Copie D’apres ‘les Funérailles De St. Baernardin’ De Pinturicchio 

This watercolor drawing by Edgar Degas, titled "Jeune Homme, Vu De Profil; Copie D’apres ‘les Funérailles De St. Baernardin’ De Pinturicchio", is a copy of a detail from a fresco by the Italian Renaissance artist Pinturicchio. Degas's drawing captures the profile of a young man, likely a figure from the fresco, in a simplified and flattened style typical of his later works. His use of bold colors and subtle shading adds depth to the figure, creating a powerful sense of presence despite its minimalist rendering. This work offers an intriguing glimpse into Degas's fascination with the art of the past and his unique ability to reinterpret historical subjects in his own distinctive style.
