Context:
exhib. label:Two Standing Female Figures (Studies after Classical Statuary)c. 1582Gift of Mr. and Mrs. William O. HuntAlthough trained in Florence, Boscoli spent several influential years in the 1580s working in Rome, where one of his favorite occupations was the study of classical monuments. This drawing is characteristic of Boscoli's very best studies of Roman statuary; the clear crisp presentation of drapery, and of light and shadow became his trademarks.
