After Camillo Procaccini (1561-1629)
A nude man with a staff
-
A drawing of a nude man stepping forward holding a rough staff in front of him with both hands, a swirl of drapery to the right. The old attribution was to Tibaldi, but Popham recognised that the drawing corresponds with a study in the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Paris (12070), with an old attribution to Procaccini, and catalogued this as a copy of the Paris drawing. Neilson (Camillo Procaccini, 1979, p. 172) and Pouncey (in correspondence, 1982) attributed the Windsor drawing to Procaccini himself. But the Paris drawing does seem to be considerably stronger, and there are some spatial inconsistencies in the Windsor drawing - such as the hair of the figure overlapping the staff just above his fingers, and the merging of the staff and left knee - that do suggest that the Windsor drawing is a copy.
