Michel Corneille the Younger

Michel Corneille the Younger belongs to the French classical tradition, working in the red and white chalk manner prized for figure studies and copies after older masters. His sheet here takes up Raphael's "The Finding of Moses", rendered with touches of pink pastel that soften the chalk modelling. The archive holds a single work by this hand, and it stands as an example of the disciplined draftsmanship that carried Baroque academic practice into French drawing.
