Italy
16th century
Drawing, medium not specified
Height 5¼ in. (13.3 cm); Width 3¼ in. (8.3 cm)
Provenance: Donald Angus, Honolulu, Hawaii
This small anonymous Italian drawing from the sixteenth century depicts a group of figures in an informal compositional arrangement, worked in pen or chalk on aged paper with the quick, exploratory line quality associated with preparatory study in the Italian Renaissance tradition. The sheet shows foxing and toning consistent with its age, and the compact format suggests a study sketch rather than a finished composition. The Donald Angus provenance from Honolulu connects the piece to the same Hawaiian collection as other Old Master drawings in this group.
