Attributed to Pietro Buonaccorsi, called Perino del Vaga (Florence 1501-1547 Rome)

A rearing horse close to this one appears in a drawing by Perino del Vaga showing Marcus Curtius on a leaping horse (see E. Parma, in Perino del Vaga: tra Rafaello e Michelangelo, exh. cat. Mantua, Palazzo Te, 2001, p. 220, no. 109).

We are grateful to Linda Wolk-Simon for her assistance in cataloguing this drawing on the basis of a digital photograph.
