Study sheets with sketches of interiors, animals, sculpture, figures, notes 1500 - 1600

This anonymous drawing, made sometime between 1500 and 1600, features a collection of sketches depicting architectural elements, furniture, and other objects. These meticulous studies, executed in pen on paper, likely served as design models or artistic exercises. The detail in the sketches reveals the artist's keen observation of the world around them, and the composition's focus on objects and spaces highlights the growing interest in the representation of everyday life during the Renaissance. The use of hatching and cross-hatching techniques creates a sense of volume and texture, emphasizing the artist's attention to the physicality of the forms.
