Studies of telamons and caryatids

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

Traditionally placed in collection as: BERETTINI DA CORTONA. The style, especially the handling of the hermaphroditic caryatid, top right, with large, pendulous breasts, seems characteristic of the Bernardino India. With the drawing turned clockwise 90^o it is possible to see thought the paper a study of three standing female figures drawn on the other side of the sheet.
