Study of a Kneeling Figure (recto); Design for a Festival Chariot (verso). 1530-40 Anonymous, Italian, Florentine, 16th century Italian Cropped abruptly at the top border by an early collector, this remarkably vigorous drawing seems essentially to have functioned as a drapery study, and it appears to have served for an angel or a saint. The agitated, zigzagging folds of the tunic add a highly emotive quality to the figure. The study is done with bold, repeatedly reinforced outlines, pressed onto the paper, while the interior modeling remains relatively light on the surface. In these qualities, as well as in the choice of the red chalk medium, the study seems very close to the drawings of Jacopo Pontormo (1494-1556), as has been suggested by a previous scholar, and possibly dates to the 1530s. Given that Pontormo's drawing style was also emulated by a later generation of Florentine artists, however, the hypothesis for an attribution should be made with caution. The verso side of this dr

Standing Figure of Saint Stephen and the Head of Another Figure Within the Framing Outlines of a Rectangle, Crude Sketch of the Head of Another Figure, Undecipherable Sketch of a Polygonal or Circular Object with Small Projections 1492-94 Domenico Ghirlandaio (Domenico Bigordi) Italian This drawing was recognized as the work of Domenico Ghirlandaio by Everett Fahy in 1976; it had previously been classified as anonymous 15th century Florentine when it was in the collection of Walter C. Baker (1893-1971). The abbreviated facial notation -- with the inclusion of the horizontal and vertical axes for the placement of the features -- is characteristic of Domenico Ghirlandaio's drawings in the 1480s and early 1490s. The compositional studies in the Kupferstichkabinett, Berlin (inv. KdZ 4519) and in the Istituto Centrale per la Grafica, Rome (Corsini collection, inv.
