Portretbuste van kunstenaar Nicolas Poussin 1818 - 1848

This pencil drawing by Jacopo Bernardi, created between 1818 and 1848, depicts Nicolas Poussin, a prominent French painter of the Baroque period. The detailed, yet minimalist style captures Poussin standing on a pedestal, draped in a flowing cloak, and gazing intently towards his right. This artwork, likely a preparatory study for a larger piece, exemplifies Bernardi's meticulous attention to detail and ability to render form through subtle shading. The drawing's simplicity allows the viewer to focus on the subject's contemplative expression and the elegant lines of Poussin's figure.
