This black chalk profile of a handsome youth belongs to a category of rapidly executed sketches that may have been made in preparation for these works but were also intended as didactic models for his pupils to copy. Distinctive to this drawing is the comical insertion of a grotesque male head within the youth’s shoulder, probably implying the older man’s lust for the younger. It also evokes Michelangelo’s occasional use of fragmentary forms, particularly as manifestations of dream imagery. <BR>&nbsp;<BR>Infrared reflectography reveals a legible architectural black chalk drawing on the sheet’s verso, which had been mounted down in the eighteenth century by one of its former owners. The groundplan for a rectangular chapel with diamond-shaped cross-axes, this sketch has been identified as a preliminary design from around 1560 for one of Michelangelo’s late Roman projects: the Sforza Chapel in Santa Maria Maggiore. </P>\r\n<P>&nbsp;</P>\r\n<P>&nbsp;</P>","remarks":"Italian Drawings"},{"texttype":"Online","textpurpose":"Provenance","textentryhtml":"Sir Peter Lely, stamp (l. 2092) recto, lower right, in black; Jonathan Richardson Sr., stamp (l. 2183) recto, lower right, in black; Philippe Huart(?), stamp (l. 2083) recto, on mount, lower left, in black; William Russell, stamp (l. 2648) recto, lower left, embossed; Andrea de Clemente, stamp (l. 521b), recto, lower left, in blue; his sale, American Art Association, New York, January 15–17, 1931, lot 199 (as “Ridolfo Ghirlandaio”); purchased by Richard Ederheimer, New York; purchased by Frank Jewett Mather Jr., stamp (l. 1853a) recto, lower right, in black.;","remarks":null}],"datebegin":1525,"sortnumber":"1947  134x","published_date":"2026-02-11 07:41:57.272283","objectid":6001,"dimensions":"18.3 × 12.3 cm (7 3/16 × 4 13/16 in.)\r\nframe: 40 × 32.4 × 3.2 cm (15 3/4 × 12 3/4 × 1 1/4 in.)","on_view":false}
