(Please refer to section VAT refunds) Post lot text CIRCLE OF FRANCESCO PRIMATICCIO, THE TROJANS BRINGING THE HORSE INSIDE THE WALLS, PEN AND BROWN INK, BROWN WASH HEIGHTENED WITH WHITEThis composition, with some differences, is comparable to an engraving by Giulio Bonasone after a drawing by Primaticcio in Windsor Castle (inv. RCIN 905139; A.E Popham and J. Wilde, The Italian Drawings of the XV and XVI Centuries in the Collection of His Majesty the King at Windsor Castle, London, 1949, no. 755). The wider framing in this drawing allows for a boat to show to the foreground on the left and the town in the background is more detailed. The historical frieze that frames the central scene is flanked on either side by statues of Mars and Venus. It is reproduced alone in a drawing kept at the Mobilier National (inv GMTB/409Bis; op. cit., no. 17) and was probably used in the stucco decorations to frame Primaticcio's painted compositions at the Château de Fontainebleau, in particular the cycle of frescoes on the History of Troyes produced in the years 1537-1539 (op. cit., pp. 107-109).
