Author: Albert Elen

This drawing was listed as a work by Jacopo Tintoretto (1518-1594) when it was in the Sagredo Collection in Venice in the second half of the seventeenth century (judging by the inscription ‘I.T.’). Later it was twice annotated with an attribution to his son Domenico (1560-1635), and classified as workshop.

The resemblance to drawings ‘by a pupil of Jacopo under the influence of Palma Giovane’, as remarked by Tietze/Tietze-Conrat (1944), led to the firm attribution to Palma by Meijer (1985). He recognised it as a preliminary study for the man seated at the lower left in Palma’s early painting The Presentation of Jesus in the Temple (1576-81), which was made for the Scuola dei Mercanti, but removed in 1806 and now in the Chiesa della Croce in Venice.[1] This connection and attribution were confirmed soon afterwards by Rossi (1986).

An almost exact copy of our drawing, without the highlights and on a slightly larger sheet of white paper, was sold at auction in 2017.[2]
