Catalogue Note
We are grateful to Francesca Baldassare who has confirmed the attribution to G.D. Ferretti. This does not appear to be a preparatory drawing for one of Ferretti's paintings but there are stylistic similarities with other works, see, for example, E.A. Maser, Gian Domenico Ferretti, Florence 1968, figs. 144-145.
