Studies for a Circular Composition of Diana and Her Nymphs Bathing (recto); Studies for the Same Composition (verso), 1529–66, Pen and brown ink, brush and brown wash, sheet: 10 3/4 x 8 1/8 in. (27.3 x 20.7 cm), Drawings, Taddeo Zuccaro (Italian, Sant'Angelo in Vado 1529–1566 Rome), This graceful composition exhibits Taddeo's characteristically fluid line, which renders the forms at once animated, convincingly three-dimensional, and elegantly ornamental. Given the circular format of the designs on both sides of the sheet, it is likely that the drawings are preliminary sketches for a design to be painted on a majolica dish
