Italian School, 18th Century La Madalena Inscribed "Mada... di Correggio" in pencil on the reverse, with an unknown collector's mark l.r. Sanguine on laid paper, 5 1/8 x 7 in. (13.0 x 17.8 cm), framed. Condition: Sheet patched on the reverse to reinforce vertical central crease, also with paper remnants or old patches in each corner of the reverse, perhaps from an old mounting; currently affixed along the top edge of the reverse to supporting sheet; supporting sheet is inscribed in pencil "Coll Earl of Elder" l.l. and "Collezione Malaspina" l.r. beneath the window of the mat. Provenance: A New York estate. N.B. Although the inscription on the reverse of this drawing references Correggio, it does not appear that the image relates to or is copied after the artist. The figure is accompanied by the skull and unguent jar, objects typically associated with Mary Magdalene. The work is painstakingly drawn, with very fine cross-hatching to create shading as typically seen in etching. The collector's mark in the form of a leaf is very similar to Lugt 3539, which Frits Lugt describes as an unidentified mark found on 17th century Italian drawings.
