This drawing is on a handmade paper that contains a watermark depicting a shield with a crown on top.
Bearing the inscription “Originale di […]’ in later hand.
The sharp, angular lines of this drawing stand out among the works in the Clapp collection for their seemingly modern style. The projecting forms on the lower edge suggest the drawing might be a study for a relief sculpture.
