About the Item
'Grand Tour' old master drawing of a seated male nude antique statue torso
Italy 18th century or older
Drawing (sight): 15" W x 20.75" H; Framed: 25.5" W x 32" H x 2" D.
An exquisite 'Grand Tour' Old Master drawing from Italy, dating back to the 18th century or even earlier. This captivating piece measures 32 inches high by 25.5 inches wide when framed.
This finely executed Grisaille chalk/pencil artwork measures 20.75 inches in height and 15 inches in width within its later neoclassical frame. The drawing skillfully captures the essence of a Roman antique-carved marble male torso with meticulously defined musculature, drapery, and a fig leaf.
The drawing bears a signature, possibly "JR(?) or RC(?)," in the lower right corner, adding to its historical intrigue. Though some overall foxing is present, it adds to the piece's aura, resembling an aged patina that enriches its character. This fine drawing, which has not been examined out of the frame, is ready to find its place in a discerning collection or interior.
This drawing is a remarkable representation of the Grand Tour tradition, showcasing classical aesthetics and mastery of technique. It comes ready to enhance any space with its timeless beauty and cultural significance, a unique glimpse into the artistic pursuits of the 18th-century era.
