EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Vittore Carpaccio's exquisite artwork titled "Recto: Head of a Woman with a Pennant wound round a Pole". The black chalk with brown wash technique, heightened with white bodycolor on pale blue-grey paper, brings this Renaissance masterpiece to life. The image depicts the profile of an elegant woman, her head adorned with a beautifully braided hairstyle. A pennant is delicately wrapped around a pole held by the subject, adding an element of grace and sophistication to the composition. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, capturing the intricate folds and shadows of the fabric. Carpaccio's mastery shines through as he skillfully portrays the woman's serene expression and timeless beauty. Her features are rendered with precision and sensitivity, showcasing his ability to capture human emotion on paper. This study drawing serves as a testament to Carpaccio's talent as well as his contribution to Western art. It offers viewers a glimpse into the artistic techniques employed during the Renaissance period while highlighting the elegance and poise that were highly valued during that time. Displayed at Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, UK, this artwork continues to inspire awe and admiration for its artistic brilliance centuries after its creation.
