The Annunciate Virgin

Second half of the XVI century. Green wash, Grey-brown ink, White lead, Pencil on brown paper.
Not on display

The attribution to Nucci was suggested by Florian Härb. Indeed, both the figure type, as well as the technique, with the emphatic white highlights applied with the point of the brush in parallel hatching, pint convincingly to the drawing style of this artist.
