Italian Drawings From The Robert Landolt Collection

They provide an exceptional overview of Italian draughtsmanship from the 15^th to the 18^th Century.The sale is led by a double-sided drawing by Taddeo Zuccaro showing Two studies of Diana with her hounds (recto) and a drawing of A partially draped woman holding a vessel on her head (verso) by his friend and fellow artist Bartolomeo Passarotti. The sale features a number of rare early drawings including a double-sided sheet from the early Quattrocento, a study of male nudes from the studio of Francesco Squarcione and a landscape drawing by Fra Bartolommeo. Further highlights include an exceptionally large and beautifully preserved drawing by Ciro Ferri, an early view of Rome by the Florentine Giovanni Battista Naldini and a particularly fine sheet of figure studies by Pier Francesco Mazzuchelli, called il Morazzone.
