Description
Engraving 1542, dated and monogrammed on plate at centre.
Example in the second state of two, with the address of the editor Claudio Duchet.
Beautiful proof, on laid paper, "Shield with letter M and star" watermark (Briquet 8390-91-92), trimmed at the platemark, in very good condition. The artist known by the initials "I.F." is unidentified, although he has often been mistaken for Giovanni Francia.
This work probably reproduces a drawing belonging to Raphael's school, which today has been lost. It is also similar to the fresco kept at the Galleria Borghese in Rome, which has been ascribed to Perin del Vaga or Giulio Romano.
This print, datable to the year 1542, is the only known graphic work by this interesting artist. Very rare.
