EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork, titled "Study of Two Kneeling Clerics (recto); Study of Standing Youth (verso)" by the renowned Venetian painter Vittore Carpaccio, dates back to the 16th century. The recto side features a detailed study of two kneeling clerics, dressed in the traditional robes and hats of the Catholic Church. Their solemn expressions and postures convey a sense of deep contemplation and devotion. The intricate folds and textures of their garments are masterfully rendered in pen and black ink with black chalk, heightened with white gouache. On the verso side, we find a captivating study of a standing youth. The young man is depicted wearing fashionable clothing of the time, with a stylish hat and a flowing robe. The artist's skillful use of pen and black and brown ink, with touches of black chalk and white gouache, brings the youth's features to life, from the furrowed brow to the expressive hands. This exquisite drawing, measuring approximately 11.5 x 8.5 inches, is an exceptional example of Carpaccio's mastery of the medium of black chalk and gouache. The artwork is currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it is a cherished addition to their extensive collection of European art. The drawing provides a fascinating glimpse into the clothing and culture of the 16th century, offering a glimpse into the past and the rich artistic heritage of Italy.
