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.
