Zucchi, Jacopo
circa 1540 Florence - circa 1590 Rome/Florence - attributed

Study for a picture of Trident with Nereid, various figures on verso. Brown ink pen over red chalk on laid paper with watermark (easter lamb in single contoured circle). 22.7 x 31cm. Mounted, framed.

The paper is watermarked with an easter lamb in a single contoured circle, which is recorded in Piccard, Hauptstaatsarchiv Stuttgart, Nr 86799 and can be found on a Florentine document from the year 1579. The imaginative, quickly drawn sketch is reminiscent of pages from the artist's sketchbook in the Louvre.
