PARMIGIANINO (PARMA 1503-CASALMAGGIORE 1540)
Studies of dogs
Pen and ink | RCIN 901976
Parmigianino had a great affinity for dogs and they appear often in his drawings, sometimes in affectionate or even comical contexts. The larger study here however has a remarkable dignity, in strict profile and with blank eyes evoking classical sculpture.
