    traced.
    The relatively low price asked for this drawing in 1836
    and realised in the sales of 1850 and186 0suggests it was not
    autograph. If the identity of this drawing and 1850 - 146 is
    accepted, it must have passed from Brondgeest to Woodburn
    between 1850 and 1853.

    Presumably these two drawings were regarded by Wood-

    no indication of what other drawings might have been in
    this lot of twelve items

    15 2/Chantilly, Musee Cond ́ e; Lanfranc de Panthou, ́ 1995 ,
    no. 39.
    153.Among these may have been 1830 - 139 ii. Subsequently
    Brussels, Wauters Collection (Lees, 1917 ,pp. 24 - 5 ,Fig. 32
    as Michelangelo; red chalk, 265 × 188 mm)/Sold Christie’s
    London, 8 April, 1986 ,lot 23 /Seen by the compiler in a
    French private collection c. 1992 ,bearing the Lawrence dry
    stamp.
    The three drawings carried by this page – studies of a head,
    aleft foot, and a left arm – are inspired by the Cross-bearing
    figure in theLast Judgement,but they do not copy them
    exactly. The page does not seem to the compiler plausible
    as a copy of a lost page by Michelangelo, and it is probably
    asuite of variants upon this figure by an artist working in
    Rome c.155 0.Itmight be by Passerotti.
    1 54.TheSamson and Delilahmay be Phillipps-Fenwick
    (Popham, 1935 b, p. 65 ,no. 3 )/BM W 90 ;however,Wilde
    identifies this as part of lot186 0- 1084.
