Provenance
Gift of Richeton, October 1927
Condition
Laid down on card. The sheet has discolored somewhat and there are some losses to the original sheet in the upper centre and right edge, as well as in areas to the centre, where the iron gall ink has begun to sink somewhat into the sheet. There are a few minor stains and areas of surface dirt. The image itself remains reasonably strong throughout.

Catalogue Note
Previously attributed to Domenico Beccafumi by A.E. Popham, this drawing in fact seems closer in style to the Parmese Mannerist, Girolamo Mazzola Bedoli. No connection with a surviving lunette has, however, been identified.
