Item Description & Information

A fine late 19th-century Academic Study after Michelangelo’s Lorenzo de’ Medici, Duke of Urbino

A large and finely executed pencil drawing by E. Bailleul, dated 1888, after Michelangelo’s celebrated marble statue of Lorenzo de’ Medici, Duke of Urbino (one of the two seated figures in the Medici Chapel, Basilica of San Lorenzo, Florence).

The drawing captures the powerful, introspective figure known as Il Pensieroso (“The Thinker”), shown seated in Roman armour with the distinctive lion-head helmet pulled low over his brow. His left hand supports his chin in a classic contemplative pose, while his right rests near a money casket — a masterful academic study of anatomy, drapery, light and shadow.

Executed with great sensitivity and technical precision, this work exemplifies the rigorous training of the French Beaux-Arts tradition. It bears the signature “E. Bailleul 1888” in the lower right.
