Notes
As suggested in an email from Michael Venator (April 10, 2021), this sheet is closely related to a drawing by Lorenzo Costa at the Albertina in Vienna (ca. 1494; inv. 7506). An even closer copy of the Albertina sheet was previously with the dealer Joseph Fach in Frankfurt (see Catalogue 37 (1986), no. 50).
