Description
Known as *Il Legnanino* (attributed to) *Study of Figures* pencil on paper
The work features two sketched figures, drawn with quick, light and tentative strokes, suggesting an early stage of the creative process. The figures appear simplified and lacking in detail, with the focus primarily on posture, movement and the construction of form in space, rather than on precise anatomical rendering. The line is fluid and continuous, typical of Lombard Baroque drawing, and suggests a dynamic study aimed at experimenting with different compositional solutions. The presence of two figures on the same sheet likely indicates an analysis of the relationships between the bodies or a variation in poses, consistent with the artistic practice of the time, in which drawing served a preparatory function for more complex works such as frescoes or altarpieces.
