Model Study of a Man Leaning over a Table
Giacomo Cavedone, c. 1612
This boy’s tense outstretched arms suggest that he is actually carrying something. It is clear that Cavedone drew after a live model whom he had pose especially in this position. The study was probably used for an altarpiece by Cavedone’s teacher, Ludovico Caracci. This figure occurs in it, in a slightly different attitude, holding the feet of St Sebastian’s lifeless body.
