Antiek beeld van de Sandalenbinder 1706 - 1770

This drawing, titled "Antiek beeld van de Sandalenbinder," is a study of the human form created by the renowned Italian artist Giovanni Battista Tiepolo in the 18th century. The piece is a pen and ink study on paper, featuring a life-size figure of a man in a standing pose. The figure is shown in a relaxed yet dynamic pose, demonstrating Tiepolo's mastery of anatomy and gesture. This study, which is likely a preparatory sketch for a larger work, exemplifies Tiepolo's signature style, characterized by the use of light and shadow to create a sense of volume and depth.
