# Youth with a Recorder \(recto\) [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [PONTORMO, Jacopo]() - Date: 1501-1550 - Technique: Red chalk, 272 x 196 mm ## Commentary The recto of this sheet depicts a youth with a recorder. It is one of Pontormo's most highly finished portrait drawing which was probably never meant to be translated into a painting. The drawing on the verso of a sheet is a preliminary study for Pontormo's portrait of Giovanni della Casa. ## Related artworks - [Adam and Eve at Work]() - [Alessandro de' Medici in Profile]() - [Alessandro de' Medici]() - [Alessandro de' Medici]() - [Anatomical study]() - [Annunciation \(detail\)]() - [Annunciation \(detail\)]() - [Annunciation]() - [Birth Tray \(back\)]() - [Birth Tray \(front\)]() - [Christ before Pilate]() - [Christ the Judge with the Creation of Eve]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
