Pissing boy
Annibale Carracci was a pioneer of the Baroque style who loved capturing real life, even the unglamorous bits. In this lively sketch, a curly-haired boy is caught mid-stream, rendered with quick, energetic hatching lines that give the figure volume and movement. While it might look like a crude joke today, this kind of 'genre' drawing was revolutionary for its time. It shows a shift away from stiff, idealized figures toward observing the messy reality of the human body, proving that great art doesn't always have to be serious.
