Lattanzio Gambara
ca. 1550–55 · Pen and brown ink, brush and brown wash, squared for transfer in black chalk (recto); black chalk (verso) · Drawings and Prints
The drawing has been attributed to Lattanzio Gambara by Giulio Bora (note on the mount in 2003, and more recently confirmed by written communication to Furio Rinaldi on July 9, 2014). Following Bora's opinion, the drawing is likely preparatory for a fresco decoration in Brescia, and can be dated to the early 1550's, when Gambara's style and draftmanship was close to that of Giulio Campi.
