PROVENANCE Padre Sebastiano Resta; Lord Somers (inscribed i.76 as in Lugt 2981); J. Richardson Sr (Lugt 2184); unidentified mark c (Lugt 474); Sir J. Reynolds (Lugt 2364); Dalton Bequest 1900
LITERATURE Dalton Catalogue, p. 19 (as anonymous)
The entry against i.76 in the Richardsons’ inventory of Lord Somers’s drawings from the Resta collection reads ‘Andrea del Sarto’. This attribution by Padre Resta was lost or abandoned before the drawing entered the Museum, and it has little justification, the drawing being a good deal later in date, though it may still be Florentine and in a manner that was handed down from Sarto through Pontormo, Bronzino and the Alloris. |
