Bolognese 17th Century, Robed, Seated Male Figure

Robed, Seated Male Figure (St. John the Evangelist?)

Original drawing in black chalk, brown wash and white heightening on blue (faded to brown) laid paper, 300 x 227 mm. The massive figure is seated on rocks, and gestures with his right hand, his left covering a book. There is an old attribution to Alessandro Tiarini (1577-1668), who worked in Bologna, but we have found no way to prove that. The drawing, though, is clearly Bolognese and most likely of the 17th century.
