Circle of Francesco Bassano (1549-92)
A pastoral scene c.1575-1625
-
A drawing of a pastoral scene, with a sleeping herdsman to the left of a group of animals, including dogs, goats, a horse and donkey carrying packs, cows, lambs, a rooster, a peacock etc. The composition is obviously Bassanesque but no corresponding painting is known. Popham (in P&W 1949) suggested the drawing might be of the eighteenth century, but it seems fine as a work by a contemporary follower of the Bassano.
Provenance
Royal collection by 1802, listed in George III's 'Inventory A,' c.1800-20, p. 85: ‘Page 1 to 6. Jacomo da Ponte detto il Basano’.
