Winged Angel Flying to the Right
Second half of the XVI century. Red chalk, Pencil strokes on yellow paper. Not on displayInscribed in brown ink on a strip of paper pasted at the bottom of the sheet: CHERUBINUS ALBERTIUS PICTOR ET ARCHITEC. FECIT QUI VIX AN. LXIII. DEC. MDCXV. The eighteenth-century inscription written out on a strip of paper pasted down beneath the drawing is similar in type to those sometimes found on drawings with a provenance from the Florentine collector Francesco Maria Niccolò Gabburri (1676-1742). The style suggest the work of a number of Roman painters active at the end of the sixteenth century, such as the Alberti and Cristofano Roncalli (1551/2-1626), among others.
