Tiepolo drew a series of head studies in preparation for the painted ceilings of the Würzburg Residence in Bavaria, where he worked assisted by his sons Giovanni Domenico and Lorenzo. The latter often modelled for his father and is traditionally thought to be the sitter for this striking head study.
Tiepolo’s masterful handling of the red chalk exploits the tonal effects of light and shadow on the blue paper, which was much favoured by Venetian artists.
