A drawing of a bearded man seated on the ground, holding a large book, within a lunette.
The attribution of the drawing to Garofalo was due to Philip Pouncey (recorded in P&W 1949), who noted the resemblance of style and disposition of a figure in a lunette to a drawing in the Louvre (inv. 9070), a study for a signed fresco of 1544 in the Pinacoteca, Ferrara. A note in the British Museum's desk copy of P&W also notes the similarities to a drawing in the Uffizi (12921-F, as Titian, but placed under Garofalo in the Gernsheim photographic series, no. 22684; for that drawing see Disegni Emiliani del Rinascimento, no. 9, and Disegni del Rinascimento in Valpadana, no. 94). -
