Descrizione:
The drawing is related to the frescoes Strozzi painted on the vault of the room with the 'Triumph of David' in the palace then owned by the brothers Gio. Stefano and Gio. Batta Doria, located in Genoa between piazza San Matteo and vico Falamonica. The two Dorias were first cousins of Gio. Carlo, the painter's protector at the time. (BOCCARDO, 1999) The drawing is a rough sketch of two soldiers, including a study of their hands holding swords.
