• Lot Description
  The image of The Holy family and John the Baptist holding the orb topped with cross, possibly a study for a larger work, in style of Giorgio Vasari (Italian, 1511-1574), graphite on heavy paper, unsigned, matted with French matting under glass and carved wood frame. It is reminiscent of figure drawings from the Renaissance to Baroque periods, likely late 16th or 17th century, potentially Italian or French in origin. Provenance: old private collection of David H.H. Felix, Philadelphia, PA; by descent in the family to the current owner.

  Condition

  Good, as is, shifted in framing, some losses to French matting, time toning, wear to frame.
