Sale, London, Sotheby's, 8 July 2015, lot 127.

This elaborate and pictorial frieze shows Milani's competence as a draftsman, and also his debt to the Carracci, especially Lodovico, whose style had a profound influence on Milani.  This finished frieze could be a modello, related to a decorative scheme for the interior of a palace.
