Attributed to Giorgio Vasari
1511-1574
Allegory of Pride
Pen and brown ink and wash on laid paper.
4 1/2 x 4 5/16 inches (114 x 110 mm)
The Joseph F. McCrindle Collection.
2009.328
Description:
The drawing entered the Morgan collection with an attribution to Giorgio Vasari. Though Vasari included allegorical figures in projects throughout his career, the present study does not agree with his graphic identity and was not included in Florian Härb’s 2015 catalogue raisonné of the artist’s drawings. To date, no convincing alternative attribution has been proposed.
Inscription:
Inscribed in pen and brown ink, "Vasari [...]".
Provenance:
Joseph F. McCrindle, New York (McCrindle collection no. C0216).
Associated names:
McCrindle, Joseph F., former owner.
