Artist, Florentine, 1652 - 1726

The image shows a sketch of the upper body of a person reclining or lying down, facing slightly upwards. The person's head is tilted back, with their eyes closed or looking upward. Their facial features, hair, and body contours are depicted with simple lines. The person appears to be nude, with one arm resting on a surface and the other arm of a different figure in an expressive gesture. The sketch is on textured paper with a plain background, drawn in pencil to emphasize outlines and shading.
