AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant preparatory study depicting a female figure in a praying posture, with her gaze directed upward and hands open in a spiritual gesture. The drawing is executed on blue paper, a technique typical of academic and preparatory studies of the 19th century.
The rendering of the face, the delicacy of chiaroscuro, and the treatment of drapery closely recall the hand of Cesare Fracassini (1838–1868), an important Roman painter active in large sacred decorations (Sant’Ignazio, San Lorenzo fuori le mura, Galleria di Rocca di Papa) and known for the quality of his sketches and studies in pencil.
On the back, there is an ancient handwritten note: 'Study of the painter Cesare Fracassini, 1838–1868,' probably added by the previous antiquarian or collector from Trieste.
Technique: pencil on blue paper.
Era: mid-19th century
Sheet dimensions: 18 cm H x 15 cm L
Provenance: old Triestine collection (label 'G. Michelazzi – Antiques, Fine Arts, Frames – Trieste').
Conditions:
Overall well preserved for its age. Frame with signs of age.
Shipping: professional packaging, tracked shipping.
