Note du spécialiste

The present drawing is comparable to one in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London where the figure is seen in profile, wearing the same flat hat (D.1824.33-1885; G. Knox, Catalogue of the Tiepolo drawings in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, 1960, no. 295). The V&A drawing comes from the volume Sole figure vestite containing similar sheets that cannot be associated with any specific painting, and are likely to date from the late 1750s.
