Landscape with a Town in the Distance

Late XVI century. Pencil, Pencil ground, Red chalk, Grey-brown ink on yellow paper.
Not on display

Although currently placed as anonymous Itlian seventeenth century, the style is clearly that of Titian´s following, possibly an artist working in the ambit of Domenico Campagnola (1500-1564). The execution is harsh and engraver-like in approach, especially in the heavily interlaced cross-hatching in the foreground rocks.
