Christ and the Virgin Appearing to Saint Francis, 1562–1602, Pen and brown ink, brush and brown wash, highlighted with white gouache, over traces of charcoal or soft black chalk, on blue-green paper; scattered paint stains throughout, 16 x 10 1/4in. (40.7 x 26cm), Drawings, Pietro Faccini (Italian, Bologna ca. 1562–1602 Bologna), Faccini's intensely expressive style, rooted in the study of Correggio, Barocci, and the Carracci, is exemplified by this remarkable drawing, in which the saint's convulsed body and agitated drapery seem less a convincing anatomical construction than the outward expression of a turbulent spiritual state
