Giovanni Battista Piazzetta
(Venice 1682-1754) Head of a bearded old man, gazing downwards, red and white chalk, on brownish laid paper, the framing lines in pen and brown ink, 28 x 19,8 cm, an old attribution to "G. Ribeira" in pencil on the reverse, mounted, unframed, (Sch)
Provenance: Collection Bernhard Himmelheber (1898-1966), Karlsruhe (Lugt 4035);
Private collection, Italy.
The attribution to Giovanni Battista Piazzetta was confirmed by Prof. Adelheid Gealt, Indiana University Art Museum.
The present drawing may be a preliminary design for a painting by Piazetta showing Saint Francis of Paola (comp. Rodolfo Pallucchini, Piazzetta, Milan 1961, Cats. 55, 68). A comparable drawing of a bearded man gazing downwards formerly in the collection von Carl zu Schwarzenberg is published and illustrated in: Goethe collector and the eighteenth-century Venetian drawing. Masterpieces from the collections of Weimar at the Castello Sforzesco, Milan 2008, Cat. 21, p. 66 (Ill. p. 67). Like the Schwarzenberg study Piazetta’s present drawing is stylistically also close to works by the Tiepolo family.
