EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Head and Hand Studies" by Peter Paul Rubens, a renowned Flemish artist of the 17th century. The artwork features two distinct subjects: a female profile head reminiscent of the Liechtenstein image portraying Tiberius and Agrippina from ancient times, and a male head with folded hands that appear to be preliminary studies for a portrait. Rubens' masterful use of chalk drawing, heightened with white, on brownish nature paper brings these studies to life. The delicate details and subtle shading create an incredible sense of realism in both figures. The female profile exudes elegance and grace as it harkens back to classical antiquity. Its refined lines capture the timeless beauty often associated with ancient art forms. On the other hand, the male head with its folded hands hints at Rubens' meticulous approach towards capturing human expression. These intricate details suggest that this study was intended for a larger portrait project where every nuance would be carefully considered. This print is part of an esteemed collection titled "Handzeichnungen alter Meister aus der Albertina und anderen Sammlungen" edited by Joseph Schönbrunner and Dr. Joseph Meder. Published by Gerlach & Schenk Verlag für Kunst und Kunstgewerbe in Vienna, it offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate Rubens' genius up close while celebrating his contribution to art history.
