Lot Essay

The mount of this drawing is the same as that of five other drawings from the Rugby collection by, or attributed to, Cades (see lots 51, 52, 100, 101 and 137). It seems particularly close to Cades's drawing in lot 100, which shows similarly curved lines which are so characteristic of the artist. An attribution to Cades, however, has not been supported by Maria Teresa Caracciolo on the basis of a digital photograph.
