Description
17th century ITALIAN school after POLIDORO da CARAVAGIO
A naval battle
Pen and grey ink, brown wash over black stone lines
23 x 42.5 cm
Inscribed lower right and verso.
Faded paper.
Minor pitting throughout the drawing, visible in the photo.
Tears and chips on the right and left edges and at the top, visible on the photo.
On the reverse, traces of an old collage. The old mounting has been torn off, causing the paper to become brittle and missing.
Hole in the bottom centre near a grey spot.
The upper edge of the drawing is slightly stuck to a mounting sheet.
(Damage and loss, wetness).
Our drawing is probably a partial repeat of a frieze that has disappeared from the façade of the Palazzo Gaddi in Rome.
A drawing of the same composition is in the British Museum (no. 1870. 0813. 893).
