Drummer 1544 - 1615

"Drummer" is a drawing created by Italian artist Filippo Paladini in the 16th century. This quick sketch depicts a figure in profile, holding a drum and a drumstick, as if in mid-performance. The drawing, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases Paladini's talent for capturing movement and form through loose, expressive lines, creating a lively and dynamic composition. This type of study is typical of the Renaissance era and was used by artists to refine their skill and knowledge of anatomy. The drawing demonstrates Paladini's interest in capturing the nuances of human movement and expression.
