Further details

ATTRIBUTED TO FRANCESCO ALBANI, CIRCE AND ULYSSES, BLACK CHALK, PEN AND BROWN INK, BROWN WASH, HEIGHTENED WITH WHITE, LOWER RIGHT CORNER MADE UP

The present drawing, previously exhibited as by Annibale Carracci (c. 1560-1609), has since been convincingly attributed to Francesco Albani (A. Weston-Lewis, op.cit.). The drawing joins a relatively constricted corpus of drawings by the Bolognese Master, who trained under the Carracci Academy.
The subject of Circe and Ulysses is portrayed in another of Albani’s drawings, in the Royal Collection, Windsor (inv. 902122, fig. 1). Like the present drawing, the Windsor sheet has also previously been attributed to members of the Carracci Family. The Windsor Sheet could be a preparatory drawing for a painting, previously recorded in four seventeenth century inventories (1623, 1633, 1662, and 1665) of the Ludovisi collection, Rome, now lost. Although Weston-Lewis notes that if there is indeed a link between the lost painting and Albani, then it would most likely be between the present sheet, as one of the more complete inventory descriptions (1623) describes the present drawing more closely: ‘A female giving drink to mars [sic], and Mercury putting grass into his wine, with a wild man sitting next to him, with a cornice painted in the guise of marble profiled with gold’.
