"Study For A Painting Of St Bartholomew, And A Further Study Of His Drapery" is a preparatory drawing by the renowned Italian painter Pompeo Gerolamo Batoni (1708–1787). Batoni, celebrated for his masterful portraits and religious compositions, was a pivotal figure in 18th-century European art. This particular study exemplifies his meticulous approach to composition and detail, which underpinned his larger, finished works.

The drawing is a testament to Batoni's skill in capturing the human form and the intricate folds of drapery, elements that were crucial in his religious paintings. St. Bartholomew, one of the Twelve Apostles, is often depicted in Christian art holding a flaying knife, symbolizing his martyrdom. Batoni's study likely served as a preparatory work for a larger painting, allowing him to experiment with the saint's pose, expression, and the flow of his garments.

Batoni's studies are highly valued for the insight they provide into his artistic process. They reveal his dedication to achieving anatomical accuracy and his ability to convey texture and movement through pencil and chalk. The drapery study, in particular, highlights Batoni's understanding of how fabric interacts with the human body, creating a sense of depth and realism.

This drawing not only reflects Batoni's technical prowess but also his deep engagement with the religious themes that dominated much of his oeuvre. As a preparatory work, it offers a glimpse into the meticulous planning and refinement that characterized Batoni's approach to painting, underscoring his reputation as one of the leading artists of his time.
