Niobe Receiving Offerings

XVI century. Wash, Grey-brown ink, Pencil on paper.
Not on display

The figures occur in the center and right of the central scene from the Story of Niobe, formerly on the facade of the Palazzo Milesi, Rome. The decorative pen-and-wash technique and Salviatesque style suggest the copyist may have been the Tuscan, Marco Marchetti.
