The Nymph of Capri n.d.

"The Nymph of Capri" is a drawing by Pier Leone Ghezzi, a prominent Italian artist known for his caricatures and portraiture. This work showcases Ghezzi's skill in capturing the human form with expressive lines and subtle shading. The drawing depicts a female figure, possibly a nymph, seated on a rock, her pose suggestive of a moment caught in time. The inscription "La Ninfa di S. Capri" identifies the subject as a nymph from the island of Capri, hinting at a mythological or allegorical theme. This work, a fine example of Italian draftsmanship, demonstrates Ghezzi's masterful use of pen and ink to create a captivating and evocative image.
