Giulio Campi

This sheet of sketches was drawn from imagination in preparation for a painting. Here, the artist explored five different ways to capture the motion of a restless child enfolded in its mother’s embrace. Blue-gray papers like this were made from indigo-dyed rags and typically used for drawings by 16th-century Venetian artists such as Giulio Campi to study the painterly effects of light and shade.

A vertically oriented black chalk drawing on blue paper depicts five sketches of a woman and infant. Across the top, three studies show the woman holding the child in various poses. Centered below them, two figures sit together. At the bottom right, a woman reclines and looks down at an infant reaching toward our left. Swift, curved lines and hatched shading define the figures and their draped clothing throughout the vertical sheet.
