Design for a Sepulchral Monument of a Youth, 1524-27, Pen and brown ink, brush with brown and traces of yellow wash, over black chalk, 10 9/16 x 8 3/16in. ( x ), Drawings, Parmigianino (Girolamo Francesco Maria Mazzola) (Italian, Parma 1503–1540 Casalmaggiore), This expressive composition is one of four extant drawings of funerary monuments done by Parmigianino in his Roman period around 1524 and 1527. The overall treatment of this design - presumably for a wall tomb - is the most pictorial of the small group of such drawings, and omits (as the drawing does not appear ot have been cut at the top) the pedimented architectural framing elements that are typical of early sixteenth-century Roman tomb sculpture in the antique-revival style
