Notes
According to George Knox, who does not mention the verso, this drawing would be attributed to Lorenzo Tiepolo. These two hands studies have been made in fact after two drawing by Giovanni Domenico, both preserved at the Correr Museum in Venice, the first one being preliminary to The Way of the Cross of the church of San Polo in Venice (George Knox, 1980, nos. D. 27, D. 211).
