Nude woman seen from behind, reclining in a landscape [the Magdalen (?)]

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

When in Fernández Durán´s collection, the drawing was placed as Titian. The suggestion that the figure has a sixteenth-century Venetian origin has much to recommend it. As far as the actual handling of the drawing is concerned, this is amateurish.
