拍品專文

Professor Roethlisberger suggests that this drawing was once part of an early sketchbook used by Claude in Rome in about 1630. Approximately forty other drawings of the same dimensions and subject matter, and stylistically also dating from the artist's early years of activity, are known. Seventeen are now in the British Museum and twelve are at Windsor, further reinforcing the relationship.
