EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning portrait of a young woman adorned with pearls, created in the first third of the 1600s by Italian artist Ottavio Mario Leoni. The delicate details and exquisite craftsmanship are evident in this black chalk drawing, which is further enhanced with red and white chalk to bring out the subject's beauty. The young woman gazes at us from centuries past, her eyes filled with an enigmatic allure that captivates our imagination. Her graceful posture exudes elegance and sophistication, while the pearls delicately draped around her neck add a touch of opulence to her attire. Each stroke of Leoni's skilled hand brings forth a sense of realism and depth, making it seem as if she could step out from the frame at any moment. The use of black chalk combined with red and white highlights creates a striking contrast that adds dimensionality to this masterpiece. Some areas have been expertly stumped, enhancing shadows and softening edges for added visual interest. The sheet itself measures 21.5 x 15.3 cm (8 7/16 x 6 in. ), providing an intimate glimpse into the world of Renaissance portraiture. This print allows us to appreciate not only the artistry but also serves as a window into history—a testament to both Leoni's talent and his ability to capture timeless beauty on paper. It is truly an extraordinary piece that deserves admiration for its historical significance and artistic merit.
