A Young Man Warming Himself at a Brazier 

This red chalk drawing by the Italian artist Gaetano Gandolfi depicts a young man warming himself at a brazier. The figure is rendered in a highly realistic style, with careful attention paid to the anatomy and musculature of the body. The artist's use of shading and light creates a sense of depth and volume, bringing the figure to life on the page. This study of the human form, likely created as a preparatory drawing for a larger composition, showcases Gandolfi's mastery of drawing and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects.
