Christ on the Cross

Early XVI century. Red chalk on yellow paper.
Not on display

The figure type and the finished style of drawing suggest the work of the Lombard painters Bernardino Luini (c. 1480/85-1532) or Andrea Solario (c. 1465-1524). A number of weaknesses in the handling, however, suggest that this may be a copy.
