GHIRLANDAIO, Domenico (b. 1449, Firenze, d. 1494, Firenze) |
Study of Two Womenc. 1486Ink on paper, 260 x 170 mm Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence | |
This preliminary study (for the Zacharias Writes Down the Name of his Son in the Cappella Tornabuoni of the Santa Maria Novella in Florence) shows how carefully Ghirlandaio studied the play of light and the folds of the garments. Clearly visible is his characteristic use crosshatching in his drawings. |
