The text is as follows:
UNKNOWN SCHOOL: late 18th century
1268/1270
Studies (3 sheets recto and verso) of flying putti, male and female heads etc
D.678 inscribed in ink 'P. Battoni 1730' and D.679 similarly inscribed 'P, Battoni 1731'
Mainly red chalk, with some studies in black chalk, and one of the putti on D.679 drawn in pen and ink and wash
Size of sheets
11 ¼ x 17 (286 x 432);

10 ½ x 17 (267 x 432) D.678-680-1889
PROVENANCE Bought 1889
The former attribution to Battoni is not convincing, though the handling is reminiscent of him. |
