Descrizione:
This is a preparatory study for the large painting, now in a private collection, that Gandolfi executed in 1770 as part of a series of six destined to decorate Palazzo Marescalchi, formerly Armi, in Bologna. (BOCCARDO, 1999) The drawing depicts Eurydice standing, having just been bitten by the snake in front of her on the ground, with a cherub beside her.
