Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo

Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo belongs to the Venetian tradition of draughtsmanship shaped by his father's workshop, working here in black chalk heightened with white on blue paper. The single sheet in this archive, titled Three Dogs, places animal observation at the centre rather than the grand history subjects associated with the family name. Its date range, given as 1727, sits early within the span recorded for the sheets, and any later impressions should be read as impressions up to that year rather than new compositions.
