Successful Venetian painting studios were run as workshops, with staffs of trained apprentices working under a master\u2019s supervision to simultaneously execute a multitude of commissions. Drawings such as this study of expressive hand gestures were used as reference materials to ensure stylistic consistency within the shop.",
