Context: exhib. label:Ballad Singer at a Shrine of the Virgin1720/1725Brush with reddish-brown chalk wash, heightened with white chalk wash, over black chalk on faded blue paperLabel copy: A Genoese artist who worked mostly in Milan, Alessandro Magnasco epitomizes the transition between 17th- and 18th-century art in northern Italy. Rarely did his highly individual style find such expression as in this drawing, in which reddish-brown chalk wash heightened with white approximates the agitated strokes of the heavily applied impasto in his oil paintings.
