D’un artiste à la production graphique rare, cette feuille est préparatoire aux deux anges qui ornent le décor de la XVIIe chapelle du Sacro Monte d’Orta (F. M. Ferro, Nuvolone. Una famiglia di pittori nella Milano del’600, Soncino 2003, pp. 509-515), projet familial qui fut repris par son frère Giuseppe immédiatement après la mort de Carlo Francesco survenue le 1er août 1661. L’ange de gauche a également été utilisé pour la figure d’un Enfant Jésus dans une peinture aujourd’hui en collection privée (ibid., p. 398, fig. 80b). Selon Filippo Maria Ferro, la date inscrite en haut de la feuille fait référence à l'inventaire de l'atelier de l'artiste rédigé le 26 août 1661.
