This charcoal drawing by English artist Richard Parkes Bonington, titled "Portrait of a Young Man (recto); Sketch of a Venus (verso)" is an excellent example of his early work. Dating from 1820-1823, the artwork exemplifies the artist's development of a refined and sensitive style. It's likely Bonington, who died at the age of 25, was drawing from life in this portrait, as he frequently used his own likeness as a study subject. The artwork is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection.
