About this work
Stefano da Verona (Stefano di Giovanni d'Arbosio di Francia) drew this in 1435–38, aged about 61. It is now at The Met in New York.
How it was made
- Chalk
- Natural black, red and white chalks. Used together on toned paper they could give the warmth of flesh with very little effort, and they were favourites for studies from life.
- Charcoal
- Burnt willow or vine. It smudges and wipes away easily, which made it the natural tool for working out a composition.
- Pen and ink
- Drawn with a quill or reed pen, often with wash added by brush to model light and shadow.
Stefano da Verona (Stefano di Giovanni d'Arbosio di Francia)
Italian, 1374–1438 · Born in Paris or Pavia; died in Verona.
