His most important fresco project was the Foppa chapel in the church of San Marco in Milan, which includes monumental figures of prophets and sibyls in the dome. Both sides of this sheet bear studies for two of these dramatically posed figures. Lomazzo first sketched them in pen and brown ink; he then elaborated their drapery with black chalk. In reducing figures to a series of geometric forms (as shown on the verso), he apparently used a stereometric method derived from earlier perspective treatises.
