PROVENANCE Bought 1883
A larger sheet, showing this saint and a group of naked demons taunting him, was etched in facsimile by Arthur Pond, as by Cambiaso, the property of Hugh Howard. It is one of the facsimile in Pond's and Knapton's Imitations of Drawings. For an illustration of the etches see H. M. Hake, 'Pond's and Knapton's imitations of drawings' in the Print Collector's Quarterly, 9, 1922, p. 330. The drawing is boubtless one of those rather numerous replicas which seem to have emanated from Cambiaso's studio. It was formerly attributed in the Museum to Benjamin West. |
