The drawings are mounted one above the other in such a way as to make them appear on design; but in fact there are two separate drawings. They were formerly attributed to Giulio Romano, but are earlier in date. The character of the ornament, the style of the drawing and the hatching of the background invite comparison with the six drawings ascribed to Nicoletto da Modena (nos. 204-09). |
