Sculpted Female Head n.d.

Ciro Ferri's "Sculpted Female Head" is a black chalk drawing on blue paper of a female head in profile. The piece is a study for a larger sculpture, and showcases Ferri’s skill in capturing the form of the human figure. The drawing is in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago and is a testament to Ferri’s mastery of Baroque art. This drawing is a great example of the detailed style of draftsmanship that characterized Baroque artists during the seventeenth century.
