The drawing is a study for the altarpiece Fancelli painted for the high altar of the Parish Church of the village of Minerbio, near Bologna. Dedicated to Saint John the Baptist, the original 14th Century building was rebuilt in 1732. Another sheet related to the same painting, with Saint John the Baptist preaching, was at Christie’s, London, 6 July 1993, lot 231. A large number of drawings by the artist, including the present sheet, appeared at an earlier sale in 1972 (see Provenance), lots 22-55.
