GAETANO GANDOLFI
(S. Matteo della Decima 1734- Bologna 1802)
STUDIES OF HEADS
27 x 21 cm.
Pen and brown ink.
Signed in pen and grey ink at the bottom right corner G. Gandolfi.
The drawing, in fine condition, is a remarkable example of Gaetano's mastery in the execution of the Capricci di teste. The genre, widespread in the eighteenth century, offered all three artists of the Gandolfi family the opportunity to draw elegant and harmonious groups. Gaetano excelled in this genre, to whom he also dedicated numerous etchings. Precisely in the rigorous construction of the image with points and lines, our sheet reveals close analogy with the technique used in the engravings.
