Head of an angel; after Raphael 1674 - 1755

Pier Leone Ghezzi's "Head of an Angel; after Raphael" is a delicate pen and ink drawing depicting the head and shoulder of an angel in profile. This work is likely a study after the artist Raphael, known for his masterful depictions of angels. The artist utilizes cross-hatching to create a sense of depth and volume, particularly in the flowing hair and the draped cloth. The piece is characteristic of Ghezzi's meticulous style and interest in classical art.
