Caracalla, XVIII Century
Italian School, Red chalk on paper
A finely executed red-chalk study of the Emperor Caracalla, drawn after an antique marble bust. The artist captures the emperor’s distinctive furrowed brow and cropped hair with remarkable precision.
Such works were produced by accomplished Italian draughtsmen of the 18th century, who studied directly from ancient sculpture to refine their hand and understanding of classical form.
Presented in an antique ebonised frame of the period.
