About this artwork
Conte Anton Maria Zanetti possessed a number of 16th-century drawings by and attributed to Parmigianino, which he used as the basis for numerous small-scale chiaroscuro figure studies. Although his works were less dramatic in scale and execution than those by his competitor, John Baptist Jackson (whose works are also on display in this gallery), Zanetti was nonetheless more prolific, given his access to early source material.
