A drawing of the head of a boy, looking over his shoulder, turned three quarters to the left. Connected with the figure of the Christ Child in The Virgin and Child with St Eligius and St Petronius, in the Pinacoteca, Bologna.
Wittkower attributed this to Annibale Carracci, and suggested that RCIN 905285 is a copy. However the latter is probably another version, rather than a copy.Provenance
Consul Joseph Smith; from whom bought by George III c.1760; first recorded in a Royal Collection inventory of c.1800-20 (Inv.A. p.77: among '46 Studies of Heads' attributed to Annibale Carracci and his school)
