Italian School, 16th Century

A drawing by the same hand, similar in size, subject and provenance, was in the collection of Brian Sewell (Christie's, London, 27 September 2016, lot 10). According to an inscription by Michael Jaffé on the verso of the frame of this drawing (dated 1960), A. E. Popham owned a similar work, also from Reynolds' collection, which carried an attribution to Giorgio Vasari on the mount.
