Lot Essay

A double-sided page from a Renaissance model book, this study relates to similar designs by Giovanni da Udine and Girolamo da Carpi, both associates of Raphael in the decoration of the Vatican Loggie. A page from the same book is in Stockholm, Nationalmuseum (NM 391/1863, see P. Bjurström, B. Magnusson, Italian Drawings: Umbria, Rome, Naples, Stockholm, 1998, no. 462, ill., as attributed to Giovanni da Udine).
