Specialist note


The first two drawings in this lot are the work of an artist from Farinati’s immediate circle. The penwork, combined with the forceful shadows drawn with the brush, are comparable to that seen in a drawing of The Pentecost in the Louvre (inv. 4834) and another in a private collection (G. Marini in Paolo Farinati 1524-1606. Dipinti, incisioni e disegni per l'architettura, exhib. cat., Verona, Museo di Castelvecchio, 2005-2006, p. 35, fig. 3, no. 160, ill.).
