About this artwork

Between 1720 and 1722, the Venetian printmaker and connoisseur Antonio Maria Zanetti traveled to London, where he bought a group of drawings by Parmigianino from Thomas Howard, 2nd Earl of Arundel. He used these drawings as inspiration for approximately 50 chiaroscuro woodcuts in three or four different colors. In this one, Zanetti drew from Parmigianino’s studies of the draped female figure. The inscription on the left explains the reference to Parmigianino and dedicates the work to Zanetti’s “dear friend,” the print dealer Pierre-Jean Mariette.
