Italian School 18th century, An Ancient soldier in profile, red chalk on paper

circa 1750

About the Item

Italian School 18th Century An Ancient soldier in profile, red chalk on paper 35 x 23.5 cm in good condition, traces of folds in the lower right corner Framed : 46.5 x 35.5 cm This portrait of an ancient soldier is particularly striking for its modernity, it stands out for a very particular style that I have not yet identified. It is drawn in sanguine on a beautiful old paper. Its watermark allows to date it from the 18th century approximately. Also the style and the execution evoke the Italian school of this period. Perhaps it is a study for a fresco or a mural of this type.
