On folio 23 with 5 other prints: 27.78.1(109 and 111-114)
For more information on the Wilton album see entry for 27.78.1(1-428)
A print from the larger series of 13 plates by Schiavone depicting Christ and the Apostles singly (B. XVI.56.38-50), dated by Richardson to around 1550. Schiavone had earlier executed a similar series in smaller format that was heavily dependant on designs by Parmigianino (B. XVI.54.24-37; 27.78.1(42-57)). In this larger later series Schiavone no longer relies on Parmigianino models, though his style is still heavily influences by the Emilian master.
A variant in opposite orientation to the Saint Andrew from the same series (B. XVI.56.40; 27.78.1(108)). A strong impression, printed with heavy use of plate tone along the left margin
