Antiek romeins marmeren buste van Presunto Vitellio 17th century

This 17th-century drawing by Antonio da Cremona is a study of an ancient Roman marble bust, likely depicting the Roman emperor Vitellius. Executed in black chalk, the drawing captures the contours of the bust with precision and detail, revealing the artist's skill in capturing the subtleties of form and texture. The lifelike quality of the drawing speaks to the artist's interest in classical art and his ability to translate three-dimensional form onto a two-dimensional surface.
