SAGRESTANI. Two studies of heroines from classical mythology. Drawing. SAGRESTANI, John Camillus. Two studies of heroines from classical mythology. Drawing. 1660-1731 Sheet of mm. 245x285. A drawing and a watercolor: pen with black ink; brush with sepia color. Collection stamp Tito Miotti, Lugt 4259. Good condition. The Florentine painter, who at a young age had been a pupil of Carlo Cignani, here best expresses his pictorial technique, made up of quick touches and splashes of color. The two studies concern two young women, who wear ancient-style robes with ample draperies and who assume a rather solemn posture, with a notable dramatic effect.Provenance: Tito Miotti collection stamp, Lugt 4259
