Francesco Salviati was greatly influenced by Michelangelo.
He was a pupil of Baccio Bandinelli and later worked with Giorgio Vasari.
In Rome he decorated the Palazzo Farnese and Palazzo Sacchetti.
This highly fluid and deft ink study has a traditional attribution to Salviati
and may have been executed during his period with Bandinelli.
