Studie van een fluitspelende man, van opzij 1685 - 1695

This red chalk drawing, "Studie van een fluitspelende man, van opzij," depicts a man playing a flute, likely a study for a larger composition. Created between 1685 and 1695 by Francesco Trevisani, a prominent Italian Baroque artist, the work displays the artist's skill in capturing human anatomy and movement. The figure's relaxed posture and the dynamic pose of the putti (cherub) in the background suggest a sense of lightness and grace. This drawing is a valuable example of the preparatory sketches that artists like Trevisani used to develop their compositions.
