As stated in the exhibition catalogue quoted, Dr Otto Kurz was the first to notice the connection with the painting at Fano. The same catalogue refers to two other sheets of studies connected with the painting: one in the Brera (inv. no. 272), the other in the National Library, Rio de Janeiro (inv. no. A.6). The painting is illustrated in the catalogue, pl. 51 and in Emiliani's article, fig. 186d. Emiliani also reproduces the Brera drawing, fig. 186a. |
