LUDOVICO CARRACCI (Bologna 1555-1619 Bologna) St. Luke.
Red chalk with traces of black chalk and slightly heightened with white on cream laid paper with a prepared beige ground, circa 1585-88. 272x244 mm; 101/2x93/8 inches. With a partial study of a seated figure in pencil by another hand, verso. Published in Babette Bohn, Ludovico Carracci and the Art of Drawing, New York, 2004, number 21.
According to Babette Bohn, the figure in the current work owes a great deal to Correggio's St. Luke in the ceiling fresco in San Giovanni Evangelista, Parma.
