Catalogue Note
The attribution to Giovanni Paolo Lomazzo seems to have been suggested by Philip Pouncey and confirmed in 1984 (from an inscription on the verso of the backing sheet). We have not been able to connect this drawing to any known painted works by the artist, but it seems totally characteristic of his style.
