Lot 30: GiROLAMO MACCHIETTi Study of a male figure with shield

GiROLAMO MACCHIETTi
Study of a male figure with shield
Red pencil on paper
The sheet might have some similarities with a drawing which was recently on the market and assignable to the po- pular Mannerist Florentine master Girolamo Marchietti, among the painters of Francesco I's small Studio in Palazzo Vecchio. It is a preparatory work for St. Laurence's Angel of Glory (Sold on the12th December, Gonelli Auction House, Florence, on 14x20 cm) where the traits are very similar to our one, even though, the male study in question turns out to be generally rougher.
