Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, Head of a Young Man, 1752-1753, red chalk on blue laid paper, 10 5/8 in. x 8 1/4 in. (27 cm. x 21 cm.), Giovanni Battista Tiepolo and his two sons and collaborators, Giovanni Domenico (1727--1804) and Lorenzo (1736--1772), created more than 1,500 chalk studies, in addition to hundreds of pen-and-ink drawings. This work, tentatively attributed to Giovanni Battista Tiepolo for its quality, most likely originated in Wurzburg, where in 1751–53 the Tiepolo workshop decorated the residence of the Prince-Bishop. The drawing is not a portrait, but a study of a facial expression. Lorenzo Tiepolo copied this work, presumably as part of his artistic training in his father's workshop, in an album now in the Martin-von-Wagner-Museum, University of Wurzburg.
