Pierre noire.<br />

Black chalk.<br />

Ce <strong>de</strong>ssin <strong>de</strong> petite taille est un bel exemple <strong>de</strong> la graphie vigoureuse et efficace<br />

<strong>de</strong> Francesco Solimena. La pose <strong>de</strong>s saints représentés rappelle celle <strong>de</strong> ses projets<br />

<strong>de</strong> sculptures en argent, mais il peut aussi s’agir d’étu<strong>de</strong>s en vue <strong>de</strong> personnages<br />

insérés dans <strong>de</strong>s <strong>de</strong>́cors peints.<br />

This small-size drawing is a fine example of the vigorous and efficient graphic style<br />

of Francesco Solimena. The pose of the saints represented here reminds his <strong>de</strong>signs<br />

for silver statues, but they may have also been executed as studies for figures for<br />

painted <strong>de</strong>corations.<br />
