GIOVANNI DOMENICO TIEPOLO (VENICE 1727-1804)

Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo was a prolific draftsman, working on numerous series of drawings unconnected to specific commissions. The drawings were created as fin­ished works and were almost invariably signed by the artist, as is the case here. We know that these series of drawings were kept together in the work­shop, suggesting that Giovanni Domenico made them for his own pleasure.
