Teach Yourself Visually Drawing

(Kiana) #1

This is a copy after Andrea del Sarto. It is drawn in charcoal. One of the overriding qualities that define this work is its univer-
sality. This drawing seems to be a portrait of “Man” rather than a specific man. This feeling of universality is achieved by sub-
ordinating the details of the features to the large form of the head. Thus, we are struck by the power and beauty of the form
most of all.
