Studienblatt_ Zwei Frauen und ein gesenkter Männerkopf 

This preparatory study by Francesco Vanni, a prominent Italian painter of the late Renaissance, showcases his masterful draftsmanship. The drawing, likely executed in red chalk, depicts the figures of two women and a man’s head in a casual pose, suggesting a study for a larger composition. The artist’s meticulous rendering of the human form, particularly the detailed depiction of the man's facial features, is evident even in this preliminary sketch. The use of red chalk highlights the contours and shadows, adding depth and volume to the figures. This drawing exemplifies Vanni's artistic skills and serves as a valuable glimpse into his creative process.
