  • A sheet of studies: a traveler, a hermit, and a head of a bearded man
  • Black chalk

Provenance

G. Morelli (L.1902)

Catalogue Note

This sheet is typical of Emilio Manfredi's graphic style, and it can be compared to a number of drawings in the Cini Foundation, Venice, which bear a traditional attribution to the artist.1  Manfredi was a pupil of Ubaldo Gandolfi, and in the past his drawings have been wrongly associated with Venetian artists such as Domenico Maggiotto and also Piazzetta.
