Seated figure to the right c. 1523

This red chalk drawing, "Seated figure to the right," is a study by the Italian Renaissance artist Correggio, completed around 1523. The drawing is characteristic of Correggio's style, emphasizing the figure's form and movement. It is likely a preparatory study for one of his larger paintings, and the artist's loose and gestural lines convey a sense of life and energy. While the subject is not explicitly identified, the figure’s pose suggests a classical influence. This work is now housed in the Städel Museum.
