Giovanni Domenico Campiglia Attributed Charcoal Study of Wrestlers, circa 1755

Description
A refined mid-18th century charcoal study of two classical wrestlers, attributed to Giovanni Domenico Campiglia and executed in Rome. The composition reflects the academic rigor of the Roman tradition, with careful modeling of musculature and controlled tonal gradation that suggests sculptural influence. The restrained palette and disciplined line convey both movement and monumentality, characteristic of learned figure studies of the period. Elegantly presented in a dark wood frame with gilt liner and double mat.
