A leading Florentine artist of the 17th century, Franceschini was celebrated for his frescoes, altarpieces, and preparatory drawings, which exemplify the refined elegance of the Baroque period. His draughtsmanship is admired for its subtle tonal transitions and delicate modeling, qualities that are evident in this intimate study.
The work is housed behind glass in a custom carved wood frame by H. S. Los Angeles, featuring muted red matting that complements the warm tones of the chalk. The reverse bears an inscription noting the title, artist, and that the piece was framed for “H. J. Perry.”
A superb example of Italian Baroque artistry, this drawing captures both the technical mastery and emotional depth characteristic of Franceschini’s work, making it a distinguished addition to any collection of Old Master drawings.
