Specialist note

This is a typical drawing by Passeri with the combined use of brown ink, red chalk and white bodycolour. Another drawing by Passeri drawn within a fictive frame is in the British Museum, London (inv. 1902,0822.10; N. Turner, Italian Drawings in the British Museum, Roman Baroque Drawings, London, 1999, I, no. 248, ill.) although the frame seems to be by the artist’s own hand in the present work.
