Kneeling Bearded Old Man (recto); Section of a Draped Limb and Sketches (verso). Artist: attributed to Nosadella (Giovanni Francesco Bezzi) (Italian, Bologna () ca. 1500-1571 Bologna). Dimensions: 9 x 6 15/16in. (22.8 x 17.6cm). Date: 1500-1571.Vividly rendered with pen and brown ink, brown wash over red chalk, this study was attributed to Nosadella, a pupil of Pellegrino Tibaldi, by Lawrence Turcic in 1979. His suggestion received confirmation in the old annotation, "nosadela", that was revealed when the drawing was removed from its old mount in 1980. The handling of pen and wash in the Museum's drawing is tipycal of the artist, may be usefully compared with that in a study of the kneeling Virgin by Nosadella in the National Gallery of Scotland, Edinburgh (inv. D 1530). The Edinburgh drawing is related to Nosadella's painting with The Presentation in the Temple (private collection; Sotheby's, July 15, 1970, no. 73 and Christie's, April 24, 1981, no. 95).
