Resumen de Two Small Heads By Giulio Romano in the Crocker Art Museum
The writer discusses two small, charming head studies by Guilio Romano in the collection of the Crocker Art Museum, Sacramento. These two small works in pen and dark brown ink were torn from their original sheet or sheets and pasted onto larger ones bearing the collector's mark of Pierre-Jean Mariette (1694–1774). Similar heads by or after Giulio are scattered among various European collections, and reproductive etchings made after such heads by Giulio have been traced by three reproductive printmakers. Among these, two are after the drawings in the Crocker.
