A drawing of the whole of Michelangelo’s Last Judgement in the Sistine Chapel, in its original state before the overpainting with draperies by Daniele da Volterra. At upper centre, in place of the figure of Jonah, are two seated figures with a tablet between them. The drawing presumably copies Martino Rota's engraving of 1569.
Provenance
Listed in George III's 'Inventory A,' c. 1800, p. 46, ‘Mich: Angelo Buonaroti’, Vol. 2: ‘24. Seems to be drawn for the Print by Martin Rota.’
