Massari 1983 distinguishes two states but does not describe the differences. A drawing for the composition, attributed to Giulio Romano, is conserved in Dijon, Musée des Beaux-Arts, inv. no. CA 807, which does not contain the figures appearing upper right in the print and also differs in the details of the foliage. According to Massari in Rome 1993, the model for the printmaker was probably another drawing once in the Mertoun House Collection of Ellesmere, inv. no. 121, sold by Sotheby's in 1972, lot 74. The composition is very close to Giuilo Romano's Neptune in his Chariot in the Sala dei Venti, Mantua, Palazzo del Te. Inventory Number 6409 Classification Prints: Italian: 16th century: Mounted I |
