Description:
According to Janos Scholz’s own handwritten note on the mount of the drawing, the study once formed part of a dismembered scrap-book, which was on the London art market in the early 1950s. The British Museum bought a Dürer and a Leonardo drawing from the same source; Scholz himself a “small envelope with the tiny scraps” which also included a Cesare da Sesto drawing and other works, for which he paid the grand sum of five pounds, as he proudly noted.
