Rafael Santi (1483 - 1520) (follower) PORTRAIT OF A WOMAN

Delicate drawing of a young woman in the spirit of Rafael Santi's work. Renaissance drawing is drawn in very fine hair-like lines with sanguine on handmade paper with watermark. The influence of Rafael Santi and his effort to find an objective beauty that would combine elements of body and spirit inspired whole generations of artists for several hundreds of years and many artists tried to match his precise art.
