FRANCESCO MONTI
(Bologna 1685-1768 Bergamo)
A Seated Male Nude Academy in the Pose of a Prisoner.

Black chalk with traces of white heightening on cream laid paper mounted on laid paper. 462x315 mm; 181/4x121/2 inches.

Monti was a pupil of Giovanni Gioseffo dal Sole. The smooth use of black chalk betrays the influence of Gaetano Gandolfi.
