# Study of Drapery [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [BOLTRAFFIO, Giovanni Antonio]() - Date: 1451-1500 - Technique: Metalpoint and brown wash on blue prepared paper, 251 x 187 mm ## Commentary Boltraffio's drawings in the 1490s are demonstrations of a pure Leonardesque idiom. This silverpoint drawing was executed in the exacting technique that Leonardo had imported from Florence. It is preparatory for an early painting of the Virgin and Child \(Museo Poldi Pezzoli, Milan\). ## Related artworks - [Portrait of a Lady as St Lucy]() - [Portrait of a Notable]() - [Portrait of a Young Man]() - [Portrait of a Young Woman]() - [Portrait of Gerolamo Casio]() - [St Barbara]() - [St Sebastian]() - [Study of Drapery]() - [The Virgin and Child \(detail\)]() - [Virgin and Child]() - [Virgin and Child]() - [Virgin and Child with a Flower Vase]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
