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 59 verso in the hypothetical lost drawing book. Long before the present album was constructed, the sheet was torn in the lower part, which was then subjected to a provisional repair.

Drawings of hands are also found on folio 19 recto and 20 recto.
