Adam and Eve

Early Finales del siglo XVI - XVII century. Wash, Grey-brown ink, Grey ink, Pencil, Pencil ground on yellow paper.
Not on display

This drawing appears to be by Villamena, though it lacks and old inscription giving it to him. There is perhaps some influence of Federico Zuccaro (1540/41-1609), detectable in the figure of Adam, as well as in the dog dozing on the ground at his feet.
