Preparatory drawing for a fresco. Louis Dorigny made partial use of a burin etching * that his father Michel had engraved in 1639 after Simon Vouet. Both the style and the compositional interpretation of this engraving allow us to date our sheet to around 1670-1680, by which time Louis Dorigny had acquired sufficient renown to create frescoes in churches and villas along the Brenta between Venice and Verona*2.
