Portret van een architect 1558 - 1608

"Portret van een architect" (Portrait of an Architect) is a drawing on paper by Giovanni Ambrogio Figino, created between 1558 and 1608. The drawing depicts a seated architect, holding a compass in his left hand. The artist's signature, "Figino," is visible in the lower right corner. The drawing is a testament to the artist's skill in capturing the likeness of his subject, and provides a glimpse into the world of an architect in the Renaissance period. The drawing's small size and the use of delicate lines suggest that it may have been a study or sketch for a larger work.
