Italy
17th century
Drawing, medium not specified
Height 10¾ in. (27.3 cm); Width 8 in. (20.3 cm)
Provenance: Donald Angus, Honolulu, Hawaii
This anonymous seventeenth-century Italian drawing depicts a standing male figure in a contrapposto pose, rendered with confident chalk or pencil work that suggests familiarity with the academic figure study tradition central to Italian Baroque training. The muscular treatment of the torso and the pose's relationship to antique sculpture indicate a work produced within the context of workshop practice or academic study, where drawing from life or from canonical sculptural models was a foundational discipline. The Donald Angus provenance from Honolulu connects the piece to a Hawaiian collecting context with documented engagement with European Old Master material.
