This pair of 18th-century European School drawings features detailed character portraits labeled “Giuseppe” and “Carlo,” likely referencing stage names or archetypes from Commedia dell’arte or regional theatre traditions. Rendered in expressive ink and subtle wash, these bust-length figures are distinguished by their exaggerated theatrical hats and highly animated facial expressions. The first figure, Giuseppe, bears a playful gaze and rounded features, accentuated by his oversized jester-like hat and crimped ruff. His name is inscribed clearly below the portrait in fine calligraphy. The second portrait, Carlo, is more stoic and assertive, with furrowed brows and a larger upturned brim on his cap. His features are more angular, suggesting a more serious or commanding stage presence. These drawings exemplify the focus on gesture, costume, and identity central to 18th-century European theatre. The personalized inscriptions, expressive line work, and formalized poses suggest they may have served as reference material for costume designers, actors, or collectors of performance culture.

This expressive graphite drawing captures an elderly woman with a strong, thoughtful expression, her gaze slightly averted as if lost in contemplation. The artist employs bold, gestural strokes to define her facial features, emphasizing the wrinkles around her eyes and mouth. The texture of her wavy, voluminous hair is skillfully rendered with a mix of fine lines and deeper shading. The heavy, dark shading on the fur collar contrasts with the lighter areas of the face, creating a striking visual balance. The unfinished sketch-like quality of the surrounding areas suggests that this could be a study piece rather than a fully completed portrait. The loose, expressive style indicates a 20th-century origin, possibly from an academic setting or an artist’s personal collection of portrait studies.
