The Angel of the Annunciation
XVI century. Wash, White lead, Grey-brown ink on brown paper.Not on display
Traditionally attributed to Giovanni Battista Trotti, called ´Malosso´ (1556-1619), who was mostly active in Cremona, in Northern Italy. On the other hand, the style of this drawing is perhaps equally suggestive of the work of some artists active in Bologna in the mid-sixteenth century, such as Orazio Samacchini (1532-1577).
