EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artwork titled "Head of a Young Man in Profile with a Gun over His Shoulder" by the talented Italian artist Giovanni Battista Piazzetta. Created around the 1730s or 1740s, this piece beautifully captures the essence of youth and strength. In this black chalk drawing, Piazzetta skillfully depicts the profile of a young man, his face exuding determination and intensity. The addition of a gun casually slung over his shoulder adds an intriguing element to the composition, hinting at adventure or perhaps even danger. The artist's masterful use of stumping technique creates soft shadows and subtle gradations that enhance the three-dimensional quality of the portrait. White chalk highlights delicately illuminate certain features, adding depth and luminosity to the overall image. Measuring approximately 37.7 x 27.1 cm (14 13/16 x 10 11/16 in. ), this artwork is presented on a secondary support measuring about 43.4 x 33.3 cm (17 1/16 x 13 1/8 in. ). Its impressive size allows for an immersive viewing experience, inviting viewers to appreciate every intricate detail up close. Piazzetta's ability to capture both physical likeness and emotional depth is evident in this stunning portrayal of youthful vigor juxtaposed with weaponry. This print serves as a testament to his artistic prowess and remains an enduring symbol of timeless beauty and intrigue.
