A photograph of a drawing formerly attributed to Perugino now in the Gallerie dell'Accademia, Venice (inv. no.101 r). The drawing corresponds closely with the group of women on the right in the 'Marriage of the Virgin', a predella scene of the 'Fano Altarpiece' painted by Perugino in 1497 and now housed in the church of Santa Maria Nuova, Fano. The drawing may be a copy after a lost preparatory study or modello by Perugino for the predella scene (Ferino Pagden 1984, no.57).
This drawing features a depiction of a soldier on the verso: see RCIN 854350 for a photograph of the verso.
