Tiepolo’s head studies are a testament to his profound understanding of the human form and emotions. This striking drawing shows similarities with a group of early studies sketched around the time that the artist was working on the decoration of the Palazzo Patriarcale in Udine, in Northern Italy. By combining delicate chalk lines with subtle chiaroscuro, Tiepolo imbued the androgynous figure with a sense of depth and realism.
