Donato Creti

Artist, Bolognese, 1671 - 1749

The image shows a sketch of a full-length figure seated outdoors. The individual is positioned on the ground amidst a hilly landscape, leaning slightly back against a rocky formation, with their body turned slightly towards the right. Their facial features are delicately sketched, and they appear contemplative, with gentle eyes and a serene expression. The person's hair is short to medium length, flowing naturally. They are draped in classical robes that flow around their body. Two cherubic figures hover in the air nearby. An open book and a skull rest on the ground beside the seated figure. The background includes softly drawn trees and shrubs.
