Title: Ugolino’s Hands
Medium: Charcoal and pen on toned gray paper
Dimensions: 9 in x 12 in
This anatomical study isolates the hands of Ugolino from Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux’s Ugolino and His Sons, capturing the psychological weight and desperation embodied in his gesture. Executed in white charcoal with pen on toned gray paper, the drawing layers a detailed representation of the external form with an imagined skeletal structure beneath.
