Study of Boy's Head; the Queen of Sheba Before Solomon. 1580-94 Attributed to Antonio Vassilacchi (called "Il Aliense") Italian The author of this well-preserved sheet has recently been identified as the Greek-born Italian painter Vassilacchi, whose nickname, Il Aliense, means "the alien" or "the foreigner." The studies on the lower half, depicting the Queen of Sheba listening to the wisdom of King Solomon, can be connected to the background scene in the artists monumental Christ Disputing the Doctors (1593-94) in the church of San Pietro, in Perugia. The large naturalistic rendering of a boys head looking down was probably the first motif to be drawn, softly modeled in black chalk with a few strokes of red on the lips. The juxtaposition of the two studies, which gives the sheet a somewhat unusual appearance, is no doubt the result of its having come from a sketchbook..
