Studies Wall Art

WALL ART

3,094 artworks

Not every sheet made in a workshop was intended to be finished or sold. Studies were working material: a hand sketched from several angles, drapery arranged and drawn to understand how cloth falls, a figure copied at an academy to fix proportion before it appeared in a larger composition. Anatomical studies, sometimes drawn from a skeleton or a flayed model, taught the structure beneath the skin. Such sheets were rarely intended for public display, which gives them a directness and speed that finished paintings often lack. This grouping collects that preparatory and instructional work across drawing and printmaking.
