St Mary Magdalene c.1550-1600
-
A drawing of the head of St Mary Magdalene, copied from Correggio's Madonna of St Jerome in the Galleria Nazionale, Parma. The drawing comes from an earlier sequence of drawings at Windsor by Barocci and is inscribed at lower left 'Barocchio', and that old attribution may well be correct. The head is on a smaller sheet of paper which has been skilfully restored at an early date on all sides, as with several other sheets by Barocci in the Royal Collection.
