Seminude woman

Not on display

As Sylvie Béguin has pointed out in a note on the mount (1980), this is a copy after a drawing by Taddeo Zuccaro in the Louvre. The Louvre drawing is a study for the circular fresco of Somnus in one of the ceiling pendentives of the Stanza di Aurora in the Palazzo Farnese at Caprarola.
