The head of Europa c.1700-50
-
A drawing copying the bust of Europa in a painting of The Abduction of Europa, in Sans Souci, Potsdam. The painting has been attributed to Guido Reni, or to a student of his; S. Pepper (Guido Reni, 1984, p. 285) attributed the painting to Francesco Gessi, c.1620.
The drawing is in the academic style of the eighteenth century; in George III's Inventory A it was listed with a group of drawings attributed to Pompeo Batoni and Stefano Pozzo, and it is plausibly by the latter, en suite with 906727 and 906730.Provenance
Listed in George III's 'Inventory A,' c.1800, p.128, 'Moderna Schuola Romana / Tom. I.', '7. Of Pompeo Battoni & Steffano Pozzi.'
