DescriptionDescription: Inscribed on verso: fece Donato Creti Provenance: G. Rasini, Milano? ; M.G. Anckarsvärd ; A Michaelson ; K. Michaelson ; S. Josephson ; Acquired by the museum in 1896 Two similar drawings of an old man's head, apparently done from the same model, are at Windsor Castle and in the Uffizi. Worth mentioning in this context is a study for a "Calling of St. Matthew" from the first decade of the 18th century, containing a similar old man's head. [Bjurström, It. Drawings, cat. no. 1479]
