Classical Bust of a Bearded Male Seen in Profile 1771 - 1844

This pencil drawing by Vincenzo Camuccini, created between 1771 and 1844, depicts a classical bust of a bearded male seen in profile. The work demonstrates the artist's skill in capturing the form and detail of the subject. The bust, possibly a Roman or Greek figure, is rendered with precision and sensitivity. The artist's signature, along with the inscription "Dono Greco" ("Greek Gift"), suggests that the drawing may have been a study of an ancient bust. This work showcases Camuccini's interest in classical art and his ability to convey the timeless beauty of ancient sculpture through his drawing.
