This drawing for a very complex ceiling shows strong stylistic similarities with other studies by Perino, particularly in the handling of wash and in the figure types. It can be compared in particular with a study for ceilings in the Palazzo Doria1 and with another drawing in the Musée Condé, Chantilly.
