Standing Nude Youth

First half of the XVI century. Wash, Pencil, Grey-brown ink, White lead, Pencil ground on yellow paper.
Not on display

An old (not unintelligent) attibution to Lelio Orsi is written on the reverse. In a note on the modern museum mount dated 1980, Sylvie Béguin has written "after Giulio Romano". In my opinion, the drawing, though impaired in its effect from the silhouetting of the figure, seems entirely autograph.
