Description: NMH 355/1973 verso: The three main figures and the dog [from NMH 355/1973 recto] repeated in reverse (traced through), pen and brown ink. 

Provenance: Prince Charles de Ligne (Bartsch 1794, p. 445, no 43, anonymous) ; Herzog Albert von Sachsen-Teschen ;  J.G. De la Gardie (Lugt 2722a) ; Gift to the museum in 1973

[NMH 355/1973 recto / NMH 355/1973 verso]:
The subject matter is not quiet clear. In the background a corpse is being plundered. The three men fighting are dressed as travellers, they have purses and small kegs attached to the belt, and there is some baggage on the ground. Only the younger man on the left has a real weapon, a short sword.

The composition with symmetrically arranged fighters is similar to a drawing representing a duel between two soldiers in the Louvre, perhaps for a lunette in Palazzo Doria in Genua. In style it is closer to a drawing in Madrid, "Perseus with Medusa´s head", copied after Polidoro´s fresco in Casino del Bufalo and datable to the later Roman years. It is also very close to the studies after Raphael on the following sheet (Cat. 500). [Bjurström, It. Drawings, cat. no. 499]
