Seated Female Figure with Upraised Arms, Facing Right mid-15th century Veronese School The very fine, regular hatching and delicate, soft modeling in this drawing differ from the style of Stefano da Verona. Endowing the figure with a classicizing and sculptural quality, the artist, an unknown Veronese draftsman of the mid-fifteenth century, was particularly concerned with the twisting folds of drapery around the figure. The lack of attributes and setting make it difficult to determine her identity or the intended context. The figure may represent a Virtue such as Hope, who is often portrayed with upraised arms, or a Sibyl.. Seated Female Figure with Upraised Arms, Facing Right. Veronese School (mid-fifteenth century). Italian, Verona. mid-15th century. Pen and brown ink, over traces of black chalk. Drawings

Drapery Study for "Castor and Pollux Freeing Helen" 1817 Joseph-Ferdinand Lancrenon French This sheet is a study for Castor and Pollux Freeing Helen, the assigned subject for the 1817 Prix de Rome competition, in which Lancrenon placed third. While the final paintings location is unknown, this preparatory drawing focuses on the drapery of Helen. The nude male figure escorting her is outlined to her right. Lancrenons study echoes a practice promulgated in Jacques Louis Davids (French, 1748-1825) studio that encouraged studies of figures, nude and clothed, followed by sketches of heads. Here, the adept draftsman delineates Helens svelte form through long strokes of black chalk and subtle modeling with white—a style indebted to that of his teacher, Anne Louis Girodet-Trioson (French, 1767-1824)..
