"A Baby Lying On His Stomach (recto); A Baby Lying On His Back (verso)" is a captivating double-sided drawing by the renowned Italian Baroque painter Giovanni Francesco Barbieri, more commonly known as Guercino. Created in the early 17th century, this artwork exemplifies Guercino's exceptional skill in rendering the human form with both sensitivity and anatomical precision. The recto side of the drawing depicts a baby lying on his stomach, while the verso side shows the same infant lying on his back, offering a comprehensive study of the child's form from different perspectives.

Guercino, born in 1591 in Cento, Italy, was a prolific artist whose works are celebrated for their dynamic compositions, vigorous brushwork, and emotive use of light and shadow. His early works were heavily influenced by the Carracci family and Caravaggio, but he developed a distinctive style that earned him significant commissions from patrons across Italy and beyond. The dual-sided drawing of the baby is a testament to Guercino's keen observational skills and his ability to capture the innocence and vulnerability of childhood.

The drawing is executed with a combination of pen, ink, and wash, showcasing Guercino's deft handling of these mediums to create depth and texture. The delicate lines and subtle shading convey the softness of the baby's skin and the gentle contours of his body. This work not only serves as a study of the infant's anatomy but also reflects the artist's interest in the naturalistic representation of human subjects, a hallmark of Baroque art.

"A Baby Lying On His Stomach (recto); A Baby Lying On His Back (verso)" is housed in the Royal Collection Trust, where it continues to be admired for its artistic merit and historical significance. This drawing provides valuable insight into Guercino's artistic process and his enduring legacy as one of the foremost painters of the Baroque period.
