Collection Details
Professor Giuseppe Grassi; with Agnew, 1928, and
sold to Sir Thomas Barlow, 1933; with Agnew, 1936, and sold to the Earl
of Sandwich; again with Agnew, 1944, when acquired by Lord Faringdon.
On the reverse are two unidentified seals.
Background
Formerly catalogued under the names of Bandinelli
and School of Michelangelo. To attempt a precise attribution
for this damaged fragment would seem to be hazardous, but the influence
of Michelangelos late Pietà in the Cathedral at Florence
may be detected in the head of Christ.
