Koncert renesansowy 1857

"Koncert renesansowy" (Renaissance Concert) is a pencil sketch created in 1857 by Polish artist Józef Simmler (1823-1868). The sketch depicts a scene from a Renaissance era concert with a group of figures in elaborate costumes, with a focus on movement and gesture. This drawing is a preparatory sketch and offers insight into Simmler's artistic process. It demonstrates the artist's skill in depicting the human figure and his interest in historical subjects. Simmler, whose work is known for its Romantic sensibility, utilized a precise yet loose line to create the composition.
