Virgin and Child Attended by Angels 1457/58-1504 Attributed to Filippino Lippi Italian This bold, lively sketch of a Madonna and Child, attended by Angels, was probably preparatory for a painted panel of the same subject. Lippis mastery at defining shapes and volumes by controlling the intricate and dense network of lines in pen and ink is clearly evident. Given its similarities to other late drawings by the artist done with a similar technique - see for example the double-sided sheet of studies for a Madonna and Child in the British Museum, London inv. 1946,0713.4 (Popham and Pouncey 1950, no. 63) - the present sheet can be dated to shortly before Filippino died in 1504. When it was still in the Cartwright collection at Aynhoe (United Kingdom), the drawing was originally attributed by Philip Pouncey to Filippino's pupil Raffaellino del Garbo (ca. 1476-1527), an attribution followed by Jacob Bean when the study was acquired by the Museum in 1968.
