Together with his cousin and brother, Annibale Carracci led a large workshop with several pupils in Bologna, where drawing from live models was the order of the day. He often used red or black chalk for figure studies made in the workshop. In this drawing he used both colours, which he combined in some places by slightly blending the hatching.

A journey around Italy with Agostino
At the behest of the elder Ludovico Carracci, Annibale and Agostino travelled around Italy and studied the work of Titian, among others. From this came their interest in the glimmering colour taken from the Venetian painters.

Opens a studio-academy in Bologna
In 1582 Annibale, his brother Agostino and his cousin Ludovico opened a painters’ studio in Bologna, at first called the Academy of the Desiderosi and then the Incamminati, “those opening a new way”. It is considered the first major art school based on life drawing and was the model for later art schools throughout Europe.
