Note du spécialiste

This drawing is a copy after Michelangelo’s Saint John the Baptist (shown prior to Daniele da Volterra’s censorship of 1564) and a young man flanking Christ to the left in the Last Judgment. The polished black-chalk technique is reminiscent of Daniele da Volterra and his Roman pupils, Michele Alberti and Jacopo Rocchetti.
