Figure and Head Studies 1727 - 1737

"Figure and Head Studies" is a collection of drawings by French artist René Michel Slodtz, also known as "Michel Ange" Slodtz, created between 1727 and 1737. This intricate etching showcases a series of carefully rendered heads and figures in various poses. The studies demonstrate Slodtz's masterful skill in capturing the anatomy and expression of the human form. These studies are likely preparatory drawings for larger compositions, revealing the artist's meticulous approach to his craft. This work is now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
