Specialist note
Stylistically and technically rather close to a drawing at Christ Church, Oxford (Inv. JBC 908) which Philip Pouncey identified as a study for The Last Judgement in Arcipretale, Rovello Porro (P. Pouncey, Raccolta di Scritti (1937-1985), Rimini, 1994, pp. 139-43, figs. 1 and 2). The present drawing, however, does not relate to that painting, nor does it relate to a fresco, also of a Last Judgement, in the apse of Ferrara Cathedral which is Bastianino's best-known work.
