Description: Numbered at lower right in pen and brown ink: k.226 (Sebastiano Resta). 
Cybele was a goddess whose chief place of worship was at Pessinus in Asia Minor. in 204 B.C., during the Punic Wars, it was prophesied from the Sibylline Books that Hannibal would be driven from Italy if Cybele were brought to Rome. But when the ship with its precious cargo arrived off Ostia it went aground, whereupon Claudia Quinta, a Roman matron whose virtue had been questioned, managed to draw it afloat, thereby convincing the populace of her innocence. The story is related in Ovid´s Fasti and by Livy. The motif has been identified by Jennifer Montagu. 

This and the next four numbers belonged to the same lot at the Crozat sale and according to Tessin in the catalogue of 1749 they all came from the collection of Lord Somers. The present sheet, moreover, once belonged, according to its inscription, to Padre Sebastiano Resta (1635-1714), from whom it was acquired in about 1710 by Lord John Somers; after his death in 1716 it was sold at an auction in London that started on 6 May 1717.
The inscription k.226 indicates that it belonged to the volume in Padre Resta´s collection that was designated Tomo Secondo Secolo d´Oro and which contained 303 drawings. [Bjurström, It. Drawings, cat. no. 67]
