• Lot Description
  The charming drawing is done in black and brown ink in an exquisite rendering… The feather like strokes of ink are perfectly applied to line and highlight the scenery as well as the animal itself in a life like appearance.
  
  The Drawing is signed Torelli Fecit on the left-hand side. Felice TORELLI was born in September 1667 in Verona in an artistic family, the brother of a noted composer and violinist Guiseppe Torelli.
  
  Torelli was apprenticed by Giovanni Gioseffo DAL SOLE in Bologna, after first taking classes from Santi PRUNATI in Verona. He became a noted member of the Baroque movement, and though he was born in Verona was always referred to as a painter of the Bolognese school. In 1709 Pope Clement the 11th, who considered as a major patron of the arts, determined to incorporate the Academia Clementina for the Fine Arts, and selected 14 painters of which Felice TORELLI to help run the School, and put them in charge of selecting other painters to contribute to spreading Fine Arts in the Region. Felice Torelli passed away in June 1748 in Bologna.
  
  Torelli preparatory works were nearly always done in ink and included very little lead pencil strokes. This piece is solely done in ink. The drawing is beautifully framed in a period 18th Century frame gilt wood frame.
  
  The drawing measures 6.50 inches long by 5.50 inches high. The frame measures 11.00 inches long by 10.00 inches high.
