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 53 recto in the hypothetical lost volume (now a verso in the album). The finger smudges in the lower right corner confirm that this was originally a recto page.

As observed by Berenson (1938 and 1961), the lower foot is similar to that in a drawing by another hand in the Gozzoli workshop, now in Florence, where it is depicted twice.[1] The drawings of feet on the green-prepared album folios 5 verso, 6 recto and 8 recto were probably copied after existing drawings of plaster casts rather than directly after the original casts, let alone the classical fragments from which these were taken.
