Attributed to Domenico Campagnola (Padua 1500-1564)

The style and technique of this swiftly drawn sketch seem to be that of Domenico Campagnola and it may be compared to one of dancing putti in the Louvre (inv. 479) and a drawing in the École des Beaux-Arts, Paris, showing a similar background as to that of the present sheet (see H. Tietze and E. Tietze-Conrat, The Drawings of the Venetian Painters in the 15th and 16th Centuries, New York, 1970, I, no. 529, II, pl. LXXIX and, I, no. 548, II, pl. LXXVIII).
