    Lot Essay

    This engraving was attributed to Giorgio Ghisi and also associated with Georg Pencz, but is now accepted to be by Giovanni Battista Scultori, after a preparatory drawing in the Royal Collection at Windsor (inv. no. 0483). It relates to a fresco in the Camera dei Venti in Palazzo Te, Mantua, designed by Giulio Romano.
