• This drawing is not by Fra Bartolommeo (1472-1517), as originally catalogued, but instead by the artist Marcantonio Raimondi, whose authorship had also been suggested. The attribution to Fra Bartolommeo was probably based on the similarity of drapery folds and sketch-like quality of the artist's mis en page. However, authentic pen and ink drawings by Fra Bartolommeo exhibit a greater freedom, more volume, and less static quality to the figures (for comparisons see, e.g., Chris Fischer. Fra Bartolommeo. Master Draughtsman of the High Renaissance, exh. cat., Museum Boymans-van Beuningen, Rotterdam, 1990-1991). The style of this sheet shares with Marcantonio Raimondi the hesitant outlines of figures with minimum shading and a similar figure type (thin hips and skinny legs) as well as the interest in classical poses. His early works also have the same simple hatching and broken outlines. In fact, a group of drawings in the Musée Bonnat in Bayonne (see Jacob Bean, Dessins italiens de la collection Bonnat, Paris, 1960, cat. nos. 225-237 as north Italian school), the Kupferstichkabinett in Berlin, and elsewhere, to which this sheet belongs, has been attributed convincingly by Konrad Oberhuber to Marcantonio (see Konrad Oberhuber. Marcantonio Raimondi: gli inizi a Bologna ed il primo periodo romano in Marzia Faietti and Konrad Oberhuber, eds. Bologna e l'Umanesimo 1490-1510, exh. cat. Pinacoteca Nazionale, Bologna, and Graphisches Sammlung Albertina, Vienna, 1988 pp. 51-88 and cat. nos. 51, 53 and 54).
