Venus (?) 1736 - 1804

"Venus (?)" is a drawing by Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo, the son of the famed Venetian artist Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. The drawing depicts a female figure, likely Venus, standing with her drapery partially falling away. The artist’s masterful use of light and shadow creates a sense of volume and realism in the figure, and the delicate lines of the drawing highlight the subject’s graceful form. This drawing demonstrates the younger Tiepolo’s talent for capturing the beauty and elegance of the human form.
