Study of a Young Woman in Three-quarter Bust-Length. Artist: Bronzino (Agnolo di Cosimo di Mariano) (Italian, Monticelli 1503-1572 Florence). Dimensions: Sheet: 7 5/8 × 5 5/16 in. (19.4 × 13.5 cm). Date: ca. 1540-42.The surviving corpus of securely attributed drawings by Bronzino numbers around sixty-two, or so sheets. This is by all accounts an extraordinarily small number for a Tuscan artist of his generation. The Museum was fortunate to acquire this drawing which was unknown until its discovery at auction in 2013. It is a sketch after a living model, and belongs with a small group of Bronzino's sheets of ca. 1540-45 for the frescoes and altarpiece in the Chapel of Eleonora di Toledo (Palazzo Vecchio, Florence), because of its style, technique, design, and pictorial approach to life drawing. As is seen here, the most plentiful kind of drawing by Bronzino to have survived, his life-studies of the figure (or "ritratti dal naturale") are quietly about the humble, flesh-and-blood models

Portrait of a Woman (Martha Hess) Made 1781 England. On a visit to Zurich, Switzerland, in 1778ñ79, Fuseli made several portraits of Martha Hess, a niece of the artistís friend Johann Kaspar Lavater. Lavater eventually incorporated prints after Fuseliís drawings of Martha and her sister into his famous Essays on Physiognomy (published 1789).Martha was described as ethereal and inclined toward religious fanaticism, both features consistent with how Fuseli presents her. Brilliantly lit, her ecstatic face appears to be emerging from darkness. Fuseli drew almost exclusively with his left hand, as evidenced here by his hatching (closely spaced parallel lines used for shading), which moves from upper left to lower right.. Charcoal and black chalk, with stumping, heightened with white chalk and touches of red-orange pastel, on grayish-tan laid paper . Henry Fuseli
