Title: Fragmentary Sketches of Various Ornament
Artist: Attributed to Giovanni Battista Natali III (Italian, Pontremoli, Tuscany 1698–1765 Naples)
Date: 1698–1765
Medium: Graphite, pen and brown ink, brush with brown and gray wash
Dimensions: sheet: 6 1/16 x 4 7/16 in. (15.4 x 11.2 cm)
Classification: Drawings
Credit Line: Purchase, Ian Woodner Family Foundation Gift, 1974. This is a presumable creditline only, as this drawing was found on June 24, 2003, uncatalogued, unmounted, and stuck within another sheet, but with the double accession no. 1974.605.4 written on it, at which point it was renumbered 1974.605.4 bis. Acquisition papers of May and June 1974 also mistakenly do not take this sheet into account, see Natali object file.
