The motif of paired putti standing derives from the thrones with Prophets on Michelangelo´s Sistine ceiling. [+]
The drawing carries old attributions on the reverse of the mount to Nicolo dell´Abate and Pordenone. On the modern museum matte, A. Gere has noted it may be from the School of Perino del Vaga, p [+]
The identification of the bearded man bottom left, perhaps a priest or an Old Testament prophet, seems to hold the key to identification of the subject of this interesting drawing. The artist shows kn [+]

The drawing is surely by a sixteenth-century Florentine artist, as is shown by its similarity in handling and technique to The age of gold by Jacopo Zucchi (1541-1589/90) in the Paul Getty Museum, Los [+]
Traditionally attributed to Federico Zuccaro (1540/1-1609). In a pencil note on the modern museum matte, J. A. Gere dismissed this possibility. In Turner´s opinion, there is something in the han [+]
