Second half of the XVI century. Wash, White lead, Pencil, Pencil ground, Grey-brown ink on tinted paper.Not on display
Traditionally attributed to Federico Zuccaro (1540/1-1609). In a pencil note on the modern museum matte, J. A. Gere dismissed this possibility. In Turner´s opinion, there is something in the handling to suggest the work of the Genoese Giovanni Battista Paggi.
