Personifications of Painting and Sculpture sitting on clouds 1600 - 1633

This pen and ink drawing, created by Jacopo Palma il Giovane between 1600 and 1633, depicts the personifications of Painting and Sculpture seated on clouds. The composition is notable for its dynamic poses and the expressive gestures of the figures. Painting, the figure on the left, holds a small statue, a symbol of Sculpture, while both figures are clad in flowing robes. The drawing, now in the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst, exemplifies Palma's artistic style, known for its elegant and refined linework.
