The three drawings nos. 1046-1048 are fragments of a bigger study-sheet. Two of them have been possible to join again. Supposedly it was Vasari who cut the drawing in pieces, so as to be able to insert them decoratively in one of the composite pages of his "Libro".

According to Degenhart and Schmitt, the drawings are copies or tracings of subjects used in cassone paintings in the tradition of the Anghiari master. They specifically compare our drawings with a Cassone in Galleria Sabauda in Turin representing a battle between Romans and Gauls. They date the drawings c. 1460-1470 in the tradition of Uccello and Pesellino. [Bjurström It. Drawings nr 1046]
