Two Putti Supporting the Lower Part of a Draped Figure (recto); Two Putti (verso) 1720 - 1808

This drawing, created by Italian artist Jacopo Guarana between 1720 and 1808, depicts two putti supporting the lower part of a draped figure, possibly a study for a larger work. The drawing is a beautiful example of Guarana's masterful use of line and shading, capturing the delicate forms and textures of the figures. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York houses this piece. While the putti's playful nature is captured in this drawing, the composition highlights the artist's keen eye for anatomy and drapery, which contributed to Guarana's success in the realm of Rococo art.
