Study for Allegorical Figure of Prudence. Artist: Perino del Vaga (Pietro Buonaccorsi) (Italian, Florence 1501-1547 Rome). Dimensions: 10 1/16 x 5 9/16in. (25.6 x 14.1cm). Date: 1501-47.This drawing of a graceful figure in diaphanous, billowing drapery relates to a fresco in the Sala Paolina, the papal reception hall in Castel Sant'Angelo decorated by Perino and his workshop between 1543 and 1548. It is a study for Prudence, one of the female personifications of the Virtues who appear in niches between the monumental renderings of scenes from the life of Alexander the Great . Like the study for Alexander Cutting the Gordian Knot in the Museum's collection (1984.413), the drawing would have been used as a model by Perino's assistants, who were charged with carrying out his ideas. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
