Catalogue Note
Although this drawing is superficially reminiscent of some landscape drawings, by Girolamo Muziano, generally executed in pen and ink, the roundness of the foliage and the elongated figure in the center, combined with the use of the red chalk in parallel lines, seems to be more consistent with painters active in Emilia in the sixteenth Century, such as Nicolò dell'Abate (1509?-1571). The old inscription on the bottom on the verso, which states that the drawing is not by Parmigianino, implies a previous attribution to the artist.
