Study for Figure of Fame 

This black chalk and wash drawing by Biagio Pupini, a prominent Italian Mannerist artist, depicts a female figure representing Fame, with a crown of laurel leaves on her head and a flowing cloak around her body. Her wings are partially depicted, suggesting she's in flight. Two cherubs are seen in the upper part of the drawing, adding a sense of divinity and heavenly presence. This artwork was a study for a larger composition, suggesting Pupini’s meticulous approach to planning his works. The artist's interest in classical themes and the dramatic portrayal of figures are characteristic of Mannerist style.
