The Orloff sale catalogue lists this sheet as part of an album of about 96 drawings by Tiepolo and his workshop, described in these terms: ‘the drawings included in this catalogue have never been published. Kept for many years in an album, protected from light, they have been matted only very recently and they owe to this particular fortune their extraordinary freshness.’ The origins of the album are obscure, but we know that already by 1732 albums of drawings assembled in Tiepolo’s workshop were highly esteemed by collectors. The drawings in the album were presumably kept by the family until their departure for Spain in 1761 (Knox, op. cit., 1961, p. 270). Very few of the drawings are preparatory for paintings. Given their large format, confidence of execution, and pictorial qualities, they were most likely conceived as independent art works.
