Post lot text
FRANCESCO MONTELATICI, CALLED CECCO BRAVO, SAINT BRIDGET OF SWEDEN, RED AND BLACK CHALK
The drawing is characteristic of Cecco Bravo’s technique, applied in a soft and delicate manner. At some point the sheet was mounted on a backing sheet bearing an inscription (‘Montelatici Francesco detto Cecco Bravo/ ne parla Orlandi 195’), presumably by the Florentine collector Francesco Maria Nicolò Gabburri (see Turner, op. cit., p. 118). A similar reference to Pellegrino Orlandi’s Abecedario Pittorico can also be found on the backing of another drawing by Cecco Bravo, representing Saint Agatha and stylistically close to the present sheet (with Stephen Ongpin Fine Art, London; see Renaissance to Futurism. A Selection of Italian Drawings, 1500-1920, London, 2015, no. 28, ill.).
