Drapery Study of a Standing Figure Facing Right, in Profile c. late 1460s - early 1470s

This drawing, created by Andrea del Verrocchio in the late 1460s, focuses on the study of drapery, a common practice among Renaissance artists. The drawing depicts a figure in profile, but the artist's focus is entirely on the intricate folds and shadows of the fabric that drape around the figure's body. The meticulous detail in the drapery study demonstrates Verrocchio's keen understanding of light and form, a characteristic that would come to define his later sculptures. This drawing is a testament to the meticulous artistic techniques that emerged during the Italian Renaissance.
