Although he was primarily a painter, he was also a prolific designer of prints, sculpture, and silver. He received commissions and honors from across Europe and even became the perpetual Principe of the Roman Accademia di San Luca (an unprecedented honor). After his training with Andrea Camassei and Andrea Sacchi, he also became a consummate draftsman. This drawing--not yet connected to a known project, but probably a design for a print--is a perfect example of his robust classicism.
