Catalogue Note

A study of the same seated woman is included on a page from the artist's Roman sketchbook, dating from the 1550s, in the Rosenbach Foundation, Philadelphia (see N.W. Canedy, The Roman Sketchbook of Girolamo da Carpi, London and Leiden 1976, no. R 151, reproduced).  It is probable that all the figures are drawn from antique sources, but it has not been possible to identify them.
