Notes

Probably drawings of members of the retinue of Emperor Sigismund who was in Italy 1431-3. This is the only surviving signed drawing by Pisanello. Full bibilography in Paris exhibition, 1996, no. 59

Lit: A.E. Popham and P. Pouncey, 'Italian drawings in the BM, the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries', London, 1950, I, no. 219, II, pl. CXC (with previous literature); C. Van Cleave, 'Master Drawings of the Italian Renaissance', London, 2007, p. 36, illustrated p. 37; J. Herald, 'Renaissance Dress in Italy 1400-1500', London and New Jersey, 1981, fig. 79; H. Chapman and M. Faietti, exhib. cat., BM, London, `Fra Angelico to Leonardo: Italian Renaissance Drawings`, 2010, no. 8, pp. 106-7 (cat. entry by H. Chapman).

Popham & Pouncey 1950 Degenhart follows the majority of critics in accepting this drawing as an authentic work by the artist. Hill, who in the Vasari Society publication ascribes it to the School of Pisanello, notes the close resemblance of the face of the centre man to that of S. George in the fresco in S. Anastasia. Comparable figures appear on a sheet in the Ambrosiana (Hill, 'Pisanello', pl. 45).
