Italian school, 18th century

Provenance:
Private property, Belgium.
The present drawing may have been executed after an engraving of an anatomical textbook. Comparable depictions can be found in the work of Antonio Cattani, who made engravings in large formats after wax models by Ercole Lelli (1702–1766). They were published in the book “Osteografia e Miografia della Testa, Mani e Piedi del Corpo” in Bologna in 1780. The drawing may have been produced directly after one of Lelli’s anatomical models which were exhibited in Bologna at that time.
We are grateful to Dr. Yvonne Bleyerveld, RKD, for the scientific support.
