Seated Male Figure with the Head of an Onlooker (recto); Standing Male Figure in a Monk's Habit (verso) 1548-1612 Bernardino Poccetti Italian Born into the Florentine tradition of drawing and design, Poccetti was a magnificent and fluent draftsman of the figure, and a number of large-scale studies after life in black or red chalk can attest to his technical virtuosity. This type of subtly observed study from the life model was key in Poccetti's attempt to reform the tired Mannerist vocabulary of the figure of the later 16th century, which was mostly derived from memory, for it led to a naturalistic sense of form and movement. This double-sided sheet of spirited figural studies was executed from the live model. The figures are articulated with broad patches of light and shadow. The manner of rendering with parallel hatching and little blending of the strokes is boldly pictorial. The heads in the recto study are especially compelling for their psychological presence adn economy of drawin
