( × cm) trimmed within platemark, Prints, Giovanni Jacopo Caraglio (Italian, Parma or Verona ca. 1500/1505–1565 Krakow (?)), After Parmigianino (Girolamo Francesco Maria Mazzola) (Italian, Parma 1503–1540 Casalmaggiore), This engraving of the Greek philosopher Diogenes follows a design by Parmigianino.
