Note du spécialiste

This experimental combination of two mediums, etching and chiaroscuro woodcut, is a rare instance of a direct collaboration between Parmigianino as an etcher and either Ugo da Carpi or Antonio da Trento as a woodcutter. The four registration holes at the corners of the sheet are evidence for the way the woodblocks, providing the shading, were superimposed onto Parmigianino's etching.
