Man Sawing Wood n.d.

"Man Sawing Wood" is a pen and ink drawing by the Italian artist Pier Leone Ghezzi, dating back to the 18th century. The drawing depicts a man in a dynamic pose, his body contorted as he saws a large piece of wood. This study demonstrates Ghezzi's mastery of capturing movement and anatomical detail. The artist's interest in the human form is evident in the meticulous rendering of the man's musculature and posture. The drawing is a testament to Ghezzi's versatility as an artist, showcasing his ability to create both realistic and expressive works of art. It is currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago.
