Women and Children, and Other Prisioners, Being Led Away by Soldiers, Some on Horseback
XVI century. Pencil, Grey-brown ink on brown paper.Not on display
Although traditionally placed in the collection under the name of Polidoro da Caravaggio, I have been unable to trace the composition in that artist´s ouvre. The style of the drawing seems however to show knowledge of the School of Fontainebleau style, and there are echoes of the draftsmanship of both Rosso Fiorentino (1495-1540) and Primaticcio (1504/05-1570).
