Old Woman Seated in a Chair

XVI century.
Not on display

Inscribed in the lower left corner in brown ink: Michelangiolo Fior. fec. In spite of the old attribution, the drawing was rightly placed in Fernández Durán collection, on his mount, as: BARTOLOMMEO PASSAROTTI. The handling is typical of Passerotti’s bold style of drawing in pen and ink. The figure may have been intended for a sibyl.
