Post lot text

FRANCESCO EUGENIO VANNI, VIRGIN AND CHILD, BLACK AND RED CHALK, FRAGMENTARY WATERMARK

From the time it was in the Spencer collection, this drawing has been given to the Sienese artist Francesco Vanni. The figures bear close resemblance to a print by Raphael Sadeler I (Hollstein’s Dutch and Flemish Etchings, Engravings and Woodcuts ca. 1450-1700, XXI, Amsterdam, 1980, p. 228, no. 67, XXII, Amsterdam, 1980, ill. p. 193). The engraving’s letter records that its composition is the invention of Vanni. Sadeler and other members of the Sadeler dynasty of printmakers executed several prints after Vanni’s works (S. Boorsch, ‘Vanni fecit, Vanni invenit. The Proliferation of the Artist’s Images’, in Francesco Vanni. Art in Late Renaissance Siena, exhib. cat., New Haven, Yale University Art Gallery, 2013, pp. 43-44).
