Lithographic print of drawing by Guercino entitled Study of a flying Putto, originally drawn c.1622-24</br>Acquired by George III, King of the United Kingdom (1738-1820).Red chalk with some sanguine wash. Probably drawn very soon after the artist?s arrival in Rome. It may be connected with the ceiling painting of the Assumption (c.1623/4) in the Chiesa del Rosario at Cento, or, less probably, with the St. Chrysogonus in Glory (1622) which is now at Lancaster House.
