Standing Nude Man

XVI century. Pencil, Pencil ground, Grey-brown ink on dark toned paper.
Not on display

Past collectors commonly mistook Passerotti’s academic studies from the nude for the work of the Florentine Bandinelli (1493-1560). The handling of this drawing is after him in this technique in the Museo del Prado collections.

The feeble outline study in pen and ink drawn on the verso, showing the recto figure in the same pose but from the front, is by a later, weaker hand.
