Man and Woman Striding Toward the Left 1500 - 1535

This drawing, "Man and Woman Striding Toward the Left," was created by Giovanni Francesco Caroto in the early 16th century. Executed in black chalk on blue paper, this work is a study for a larger composition, likely a painting. The figures, a man and a woman, are depicted in motion, striding towards the left of the frame. Their dynamic poses and the use of light and shadow create a sense of depth and movement. The drawing is characterized by Caroto’s precise and detailed style, often seen in his work. This piece showcases the artist’s mastery of drawing and his skill in capturing the human form in motion.
