# Study of a Woman [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [CAMPI, Vincenzo]() - Date: 1551-1600 - Technique: Black chalk, 203 x 298 mm ## Commentary Among Vincenzo Campi's most engaging paintings in a naturalistic vein are the scenes dealing broadly with the theme of food - vendors of fruit, fish, and fowl, culinary preparations, and peasants eating. Only two drawings from the artist's small graphic corpus of some eighteen sheets have been associated with these genre paintings, one of them is this study of a woman. Both drawings are squared for transfer and executed in black chalk with broad, rough strokes, as are almost all the other known drawings by the artist. Although no exact correspondence exists with any of his paintings, the subject of this drawing closely resembles the seated woman in the Fruit Seller. ## Related artworks - [Chicken Vendors]() - [Christ Being Nailed to the Cross]() - [Christ in the House of Mary and Martha]() - [Fishmongers]() - [Fruit and Vegetable Seller]() - [Fruit Seller \(detail\)]() - [Fruit Seller]() - [Kitchen]() - [St Matthew and the Angel \(detail\)]() - [St Matthew and the Angel]() - [Still-Life]() - [Study for the "Ricotta Eaters"]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
