Study of a woman folding her hands, seen from below 

This drawing by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, a prominent figure in the Venetian Rococo style, showcases the artist’s mastery of the human form. Executed in brown ink, the work depicts a woman in a flowing gown from a unique, upward perspective, emphasizing the graceful curves of her body. It is likely a study for a larger composition, demonstrating Tiepolo’s meticulous approach to anatomical accuracy and drapery. The artist’s use of light strokes and subtle shading gives the drawing a sense of dynamism and life, capturing the delicate movement of the woman’s hands as she folds them.
