Studies of birds

A photograph of a pen and ink drawing depicting studies of birds now in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford (inv. no. WA1846.232), where it is catalogued as by a follower of Raphael. Annotated on the verso.
In the catalogue of the Italian drawings of the Ashmolean Museum, Parker writes that – although this drawing was attributed by Passavant and Robinson to Giovanni da Udine and related to the Vatican Logge – the study does not appear close to the Logge. Parker believes that this drawing could be a copy and also mentions a better quality study depicting eagles in the E. Rosenthal Collection (see Bibliographic References).
