So this sheet is extremely important as one of the few known compositional studies by a major artist from this period. Stylistic comparison to other drawings by Lippi and the fact that it relates to a fresco painting by him of the same subject confirms its authenticity. --- RELATED WORKS --- CITATIONS The Cleveland Museum of Art.
