专家说明

The drawing is a fine example of Passeri’s highly pictorial draughtsmanship. The characteristic combination of red chalk with pen, brown ink and wash and extensive application of white heightening, was often used by the artist in preparatory studies for paintings, yet no painted composition of this subject by Passeri is known. The partially visible sketch of a mounted warrior on the verso can be compared to the drawing of a King before a walled town in the Museum Kunstpalast, Düsseldorf (inv. KA (FP) 2250; see D. Graf, Die Handzeichnungen des Giuseppe Passeri, Düsseldorf, 1995, I, no. 649, II, ill.).
