      AFTER A WORK COPYING GIULIO ROMANO (ROME C. 1499-MANTUA 1546)

      A seated woman

      c.1860-1876

      Carbon print | 29.2 x 19.8 cm (sheet of paper) | RCIN 854410

      A photograph of a drawing depicting a seated woman now in the Biblioteca Ambrosiana, Milan (inv. no. 3619). Annotated on the verso.

      The online catalogue of the drawings in the Biblioteca Ambrosiana (see Bibliographic References) states that Konrad Oberhuber (1968) attributed this drawing to an unknown artist and identified it as a copy of a design by Giulio Romano. The drawing may represent a handmaiden from a depiction of the Birth of the Virgin similar to the one designed by Giulio Romano and executed by Francesco Torbido in the Duomo at Verona.
