Group of Six Reclining Nude Women (Nymphs Bathing) (recto); Sketch of a Leg (verso). Artist: Taddeo Zuccaro (Italian, Sant'Angelo in Vado 1529-1566 Rome). Dimensions: sheet: 4 7/8 x 4 7/8 in. (12.4 x 12.4 cm). Date: 1529-66.This graceful composition exhibits Taddeo's characteristically fluid line, which renders the forms at once animated, convincingly three-dimensional, and elegantly ornamental. The sheet is a preliminary study for a group of six bathing nymphs that appear on a second, more finished drawing in the Museum's collection (acc. no. 56.219.3) featuring a circular design with Diana, goddess of hunt, and her nymphs. It has been suggested that the design was part of a projected series of majolica illustrating the activities of Diana and would have preceded Taddeo's well-known commission to design a set of majolica for the king of Spain in 1562. Taddeo's final design for this composition is recorded in a drawing at the Musée du Louvre, Paris (inv. 9030). Museum: Metropolitan Mu
