Notes
This sheet was attributed to Agostino Carracci when in the Scholz collection, given its clear link to several study sheets in the British Royal Collection including RCIN 902002, RCIN 902129, and RCIN 901825. At some unknown time after the sheet arrived at the Morgan, it was deattributed and recatalogued as Anonymous, but the links to Agostino are compelling.
Watermark: none.
