"Jocund Day Stands Tip Toe on the Misty Mountain Tops" (Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet, Act 3, Scene 5) ca. 1830 George Richmond British This dramatic pose embodies lines that Romeo speaks to Juliet as he prepares to leave after their wedding night:Look, love, what envious streaksDo lace the severing clouds in yonder east.Nights candles are burnt out, and jocund day Stands tiptoe on the misty mountain tops. I must be gone and live, or stay and die.Echoing the verse, Richmonds figure of Day balances on the toes of one foot, her forward movement arrested as she turns to check the waxing light. Firm graphite lines define the form while lighter rapid strokes describe flying hair and drapery. When he made this drawing, the artist was suffering romantic difficulties and would have sympathized with Shakespeares unhappy lovers. The parents of his fiancée, Julia Tatham, had forbidden him to see her and were encouraging another suitor, a situation that propelled the couple to elope to Gretna G

Nude Youth in the Pose of the Spinario Made 1610-1616 Flanders. Italy, specifically ancient Roman sculpture, profoundly influenced Flemish artist Peter Paul Rubens. The artist himself wrote that ìin order to attain the highest perfection in painting, it is necessary to understand the antiques Ö to be so thoroughly possessed of this knowledge that it may diffuse itself everywhere.îThis drawing of a live studio model derives from the artistís firsthand acquaintance with the Hellenistic bronze Spinario (also called Boy with Thorn, 1st century BCE), which was one of the most celebrated and copied sculptures in Rome. Absorbing antiquity without outright copying it, Rubens fully transformed his image from cold stone to vibrant flesh.. Black chalk, heightened with white chalk, on tan laid paper . Peter Paul Rubens

Study of a seated male figure (Ecce Homo) ca. 1665-75 Juan Carreño de Miranda Spanish In the later part of his career in Madrid, Carreño prepared a number of carefully modeled drawings on colored paper, including this striking example. The figure was no doubt drawn from a model in the studio, which accounts for its naturalism. The drawing is primarily a study of anatomical form. The careful rendering of the body contrasts with the lightly indicated facial features and the abbreviated strokes of the bench. It seems likely that the drawing was an autonomous study and not preparatory for a specific painting. The model’s crossed arms and lowered head, which mimic the pose often employed to reflect Christ’s humanity and humility before being crucified, suggest that Carreño might have intended the work as an ecce homo..

Male Nude, Study for "Castor and Pollux Freeing Helen" Joseph-Ferdinand Lancrenon French 1817 Lancrenon was a student of Anne Louis Girodet-Trioson, whose elegant Neoclassical style he closely emulated. He competed for the Prix de Rome in 1817, when the subject assigned was Castor and Pollux freeing Helen. In Greek and Roman mythology, Helen of Troy was carried off to Athens by Theseus as a young girl and rescued by her twin brothers, Castor and Pollux.This drawing is one of eight preliminary studies in the museum's collection, together showing the distinct steps the artist used to plan his canvas, executing a series of gradually more precise compositional studies, followed by studies of facial expression as well as figure and drapery studies. Lancrenon used black chalk, stumping, and white chalk on a variety of different papers to emphasize the sinuous contours and to delicately model the forms.
