Catalogue Note
This is a rare drawing by the Dutch master Dirk Hendricksz, known as Teodoro d'Errico, who was highly influential in the south of Italy where he spent most of his career, especially in Naples where he arrived in 1574. The old attributions to the artist found, in two different hands, on the recto and verso, can be confirmed by comparison with his paintings. A stylistically comparable drawing is at Capodimonte, also a study for an altarpiece, the Madonna of the Rosary (1585), in the Santuario dell'Assunta, Santa Maria a Vico, Naples.1
