Catalogue Note

This characteristic study could be for a figure of a theological virtue, possibly for one of the Albertis' large decorative projects such as the Sala Clementina in the Vatican (see Kristina Herrmann Fiore, 'Studi sui disegni di figure di Giovanni e Cherubino Alberti', Bollettino d'Arte, January-March 1980, pp. 39-64).
