Classical Male Bust in Profile 1771 - 1844

This 19th-century graphite drawing by Vincenzo Camuccini, entitled "Classical Male Bust in Profile," depicts a detailed study of a male bust in profile. The artist's skilled hand is evident in the subtle shading and precise lines that capture the form of the subject, likely a Roman sculpture. The drawing's delicate lines and realistic portrayal are characteristic of the Neoclassical style popular in the 18th and 19th centuries. Camuccini's work, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, serves as a testament to the enduring fascination with classical art and its influence on later artistic movements.
