Ecole de Mantoue du XVIe siècle, suiveur de Giulio Romano

Ercolo Lelli (L. 2852)

Les deux dessins sont encolés. Le dessin de la noce est réparé au coin en bas à gauche et en haut à gauche et sur le bord du haut. Il a quelques déchirures et des touches de gouache beige pour peut-être dissimuler des tâches. Le dessin du bain a d'importantes pertes sur les bords et dans les coins, il comporte des salissures et quelques rousseurs. Both drawings are laid down on support. The drawing of the feast is repaired on the left corner and left upper corner and the top marging. It has several cracks around and touches of of beige gouache possibly to disguise some stains. The drawing of the bath has important losses all around the marging and the corners. We can see some surface dirt and little foxing scattered around.
