18th Century Italian School, Wrestlers, Athletes, Pen Ink, Old Frame With Palmettes

Superb wrestling scene for this drawing, an 18th century Italian school in pen and brown ink. The twisting of the bodies, the musculature of these athletes is magnificently represented. We feel all the tension and strength expressed in this almost mannerist or baroque composition. This drawing has a very beautiful Empire frame with palm leaves, the dimensions of which are: 31.5 x 28 cm.
