Notes:
Formerly attributed to Raffaellino da Reggio (1550-1578).
This drawing entered the Morgan Library & Museum from the Joseph F. McCrindle Collection under the name Raffaellino da Reggio (1550-1578). Such an attribution likely remained intact due to an inscription at the lower right of the sheet, "Rafaellino da Regio detto dal Colle." The inscription is probably a conflation of the names "Raffaellino da Reggio" and "Raffaellino dal Colle" (Colle, near Borgo San Sepolcro ca. 1490-1566 Borgo San Sepolcro). However, the drawing appears to be by neither artist.
