Ward-Jackson, Peter, Italian Drawings Volume II. 17th-18th century, London, 1980, p. 190. The text is as follows: ROME: early 18th century 1217 Studies of drapery, three hands and a head Inscribed illegibly in black chalk with a note by the artist Black chalk heightened with white on faded blue paper 12 ¼ x 10 (311 x 254) D.780-1887 PROVENANCE Bought 1887 The former attribution to Romanelli is not convincing. The artist should rather be look for in the direction of Sebastiano Conca.
