Drawing for a Frontispiece 1704 - 1739

"Drawing for a Frontispiece" is a black and white drawing by Mauro Soderini, created between 1704 and 1739. The drawing depicts a classical scene with multiple figures, including a central female figure, a putto, and a divine figure in the clouds. The artist uses delicate lines and shading to create a sense of depth and light, highlighting the architectural elements and the figures' flowing garments. This drawing, housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to Soderini's skill in capturing both the grace of the human form and the drama of a divine encounter.
