Catalogue Note
A drawing by Giulio of a lion, in a similar pose but facing the other direction, was in the Ellesmere sale.1 Frederick Hartt connected that study with a group of drawings of animals and birds which he considered related to designs for silverware and datable circa 1524-26, after Giulio's arrival in Mantua.
