Silverpoint is a drawing technique where a piece of silver or gold wire is used to create thin, detailed lines on a specially prepared surface, usually coated with gesso or another rough layer. As the silverpoint tool is drawn across the surface, it leaves a mark that gradually darkens to a warm gray or brown tone. This method, known for its accuracy and delicacy, was popular during the Renaissance for creating intricate and lasting drawings.
