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 47 recto in the hypothetical lost volume (now also a recto in the album). The finger smudges in the lower right corner confirm that this was originally a recto page. Long before the present album was constructed, the sheet was torn in halves, which was then provisionally repaired by attaching paper strips on both sides.

The standing male nude is probably Hercules. The figure of a walking child holding a bird at lower left is related to an autograph drawing of a putto by Gozzoli now in Dresden and is also found on folio 19 recto in the Gozzoli Album.[1]
