After Francesco Salviati

Allegory of Peace

A graceful female figure personifying Peace is rendered in a fluid, expressive style characteristic of the Florentine Mannerist tradition associated with Francesco Salviati. The composition showcases the elegant contraposto and refined drapery typical of mid-sixteenth-century Italian draftsmanship. The sheet bears a handwritten notation "nn" in pen and brown ink at the lower left, and the number "6" inscribed at the lower right of the album page.
