GIOVANNI FRANCESCO MARIA MAZZOLA, IL PARMIGIANINO
Woman Resting.

Etching, 1527. 126x96 mm; 5x3¾ inches. Second state. Trimmed on the plate mark, the left edge trimmed inside of the plate mark.

According to the Courtauld, London, where there is another impression of this scarce etching by Parmigianino (1503-1540), though the subject of the work has been described as Saint Thaïs, it does not follow the traditional iconography. It is based upon a chalk drawing of a seated, resting woman in the collection of the Courtauld, thought now to be a quiet domestic scene. Bartsch 10.
