Descrizione:
Cut down in the past, this sheet probably constitutes the preparatory study for a 'Nativity' or a 'Holy Conversation', also in view of the ecstatic attitude of the figure of the Baptist. Due to the careful anatonomic investigation and the svelte style and monumental register of the figure, the work can be referred to the first phase of Cambiaso's production. (BOCCARDO, 1999) The drawing depicts Saint John the Baptist with a lamb at his side.
