PROVENANCE Bought 1857
The department’s register records a suggestion by Bodmer that the drawings were designs for frescoes (which he attributed to Annibale Carracci) in the Villa Guastavillani at Barbiano, near Bologna. But the drawings have no connection with any extant paintings in the villa; nor does the handling of the drawings justify an attribution to Carracci.
