Author: Albert Elen

This is a folio from a hypothetical lost drawing book, a remnant of which is now part of an eighteenth-century album, called the Gozzoli Album, held in Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen. For a general description, see here.

This page was originally folio 31 verso in the hypothetical lost drawing book.

The console at upper left and the ornamental vine with a flower below also appear in a drawing in London,^[1] which is also listed by Degenhart/Schmitt (1968, no. 465) as a work from the Gozzoli workshop and originating from the same hypothetical lost drawing book. Floral ornamental motifs are also found on folios 2 recto, 7 recto and 18 verso of the Gozzoli Album.
