early 16th-century Italian woman

Day one hundred and ninety: Aaaaah. So nice to have some time to spend working on a more detailed sketch. Today’s drawing is based on a detail of a woman in an early 16th-century engraving by the Venetian graphic artist Jacopo de’ Barbari. I enjoyed sketching her, although the curls of her hair and the twists of the cloth used to tie it up in a sort-of loopy bow did give me some difficulty. Mostly due to lack of patience on my part. Jacopo is one of my favorite Italian printmakers.
