About the artwork
Artist supplied description.
This lively sketch is a preparatory drawing for one of three 1555 frescoes that Vasari painted for a church ceiling vault in the central Italian town of Cortona. The artist’s line, rapidly applied in pen and ink, belies the careful thought given to the composition, in which Vasari makes utmost use of the scene’s horizontal format.
The paint stains on the drawing’s right side indicate that this was a working drawing used in the painting process.
