Pastel Portraits in Palazzo Venezia

Children and Families at VIVE
Guided tour with workshop for families
Sunday, April 20th, 2025, at 4:00 PM

Beginning with portraits displayed in the museum’s galleries, such as "The Orsini Children" or "Double Portrait" by Giorgione, the tour will focus on the room that houses the pastels donated by George and Henrietta Wurts.

Participants will have the chance to create their own drawing, sketching a portrait of their choice in pencil, and then experiment with the pastel technique and shading. During this hands-on workshop, they will refine and complete their artwork, building on what they’ve created in the gallery.
