Anne Lauder has kindly confirmed the attribution and pointed out that this is a study for a majolica plate in the Herzog Ulrich Museum in Braunschweig, A. Alver Bortolotto, Maiolica e Venezia nel Rinascimento, 1988, pp. 64-5, fig. 27. She adds that the drawing was executed during Franco's stay in Urbino in 1545-51, when he supplied majolica designs to Duke Guidobaldo II for his factory at Castel Durante, now Urbania. The modello for the composition, worked with white heightening, is in the Louvre (Inv. 4948).
