Man Standing in Three-Quarter View Facing Left 1702 - 1788

This drawing, created by Italian artist Francesco Zuccarelli between 1702 and 1788, depicts a man standing in three-quarter view facing left. The artwork, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, showcases Zuccarelli's skill in capturing the details of clothing and the subtle nuances of human form. The delicate lines and shading used in this study suggest it might have served as preparation for a larger painting. This intimate drawing, measuring just over 15 inches in height, invites viewers to appreciate the artist's keen observation of everyday life and the elegance of the sitter's attire.
