Copy in Reverse Design Orientation: Based on the Group of Reclining Figures at Left in Domenico Beccafumi's Scene of Moses Striking the Rock in the Pavement of Siena Cathedral. Artist: After Domenico Beccafumi (Italian, Cortine in Valdibiana Montaperti 1484-1551 Siena). Dimensions: 5 7/8 × 8 7/8 in. (15 × 22.5 cm), original sheet. Date: October 15, 1596.The figural group in this drawing was originally designed by Domenico Beccafumi for the pavement in intarsia in the Siena Cathedral which represents Moses Striking the Rock. The drawing is in reverse design orientation with respect to the original and includes only a small portion at left from Beccafumi's monumental oblong scene. This drawing is inscribed with the date "1596 otobre 15" (October 15, 1596) at center in the foreground, in tiny script probably either by the artist of the drawing or a more or less contemporary collector. The numeral "9" in the inscribed date has also been interpreted less convincingly as a numeral "4." Hence

Study for an Angel (recto); Study of a Cushion (verso). Artist: Annibale Carracci (Italian, Bologna 1560-1609 Rome). Dimensions: Sheet: 14 1/2 x 9 3/4 in. (36.9 x 24.8 cm). Date: 1600-1602.A young model, probably a studio assistant, posed for Annibale Carracci in this study of an angel-- the wings are only lightly indicated above his shoulders, almost as an afterthought. The angel's figure appears on the right in Annibale's altarpiece Saint Gregory Praying for the Souls in Purgatory, commissioned by Cardinal Antonio Maria Salviati about 1600-1602. The altarpiece, painted for a chapel in the church of San Gregorio Magno, Rome, was destroyed during World War II when it was in the collection at Bridgewater House, London. There are only minor changes in the configuration of the angel's draperies in the final painting. Figural studies done with chalk by the artist dating after 1600 are rare: two composition studies for the same altarpiece are preserved at Chatsworth and at Windsor Castle. w
