Studies for the Libyan Sibyl

1511-12, Red chalk, 28.9 x 21.4 cm

Among the most fascinating preparatory drawings for the ceiling decoration of the Sistine Chapel are the studies for the Libyan Sibyl. They are the most detailed, extant studies for the sibyls and prophets of the vault paintings. Michelangelo used a youthful male nude as a living model in order to articulate exactly the details of the sibyl.
