Michelangelo Drawing
This pencil drawing was done by the Renaissance Italian master Michelangelo. Although the drawing is incomplete, the artist’s skill can be seen in the rendering of the face and the handling of light and shadow. Michelangelo’s drawings are believed by most art historians to be studies rather than finished works of art.
