Description: Fragment of a head of a woman and sitting boy

Pen and brown ink. 13.5 x 8. The drawing fragmentary, with pieces of paper added

[...] The verso is done in a unique technique, creating a plastic effect by parallel strokes only. The drawing is not mentioned or treated in the monograph on Lorenzo di Credi by G. Dalli Regoli. 

Chris Fischer compares this drawing with the portraits by Filippino, primarlily in the "Crucifixion of St Peter" and the "Dispute of Saints Peter and Paul with Simon Magus before Nero" in the Capella Brancacci (S. Maria del Carmine, Florence) from c. 1483 [Bjurström, It. Drawings, cat. no. 1020 (verso)]
