- Physical Description
- The viewer is presented with an illusionistic rendering of a corner an ornate celiing. Architectural moldings, windows, and a still life in the corner with a globe and measuring instruments suggest that this might have been intended for a library
- Subject Matter
- These two fine drawings of ceiling corners (also 1959/2.34) are examples of the draftsmanship of artists working in Bologna during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. These two drawings are probably student works copying earlier designs by Mauro Testi, Girolamo Mengozzi, or Angelo Michele Colonna. Composed with delicate pen strokes and areas of wash, the illusionism of these corner sections is marvelous: acanthus leaves, swags, putti, and balustrades all underscore the textural richness of the late Baroque interior such a ceiling would complement.
