Nicolò Barabino (Genoa, 1832 - Florence, 1891) , Study for a historical scene, pencil and white lead on vellum, dimensions approx. 23 x 13 cm, signed in the lower center. This very elegant drawing was certainly born as a preparatory work for the study of poses. It is an example of the most refined and technically precise and analytical production. The pencil is used with the precision of a burin while the pencil and white lead glazes give three-dimensionality to the figures. The work truly represents a beautiful example of Barabino's most classical and academic phase, characterized precisely by the alternation of pencil and white lead, which in this phase are his favorite expressive tools and are always used together. Studies of this type, probably from the same album, were presented at auction by Boetto, Genoa in 2010 (estimate 1500-1700 euros) and by Reiss & Sohn, Germany in 2011 (estimate 400 euros) . The state of conservation of the design is excellent. Only a few tears in the tissue near the edges should be noted, which however do not affect the design.
