Splendid reworking with variants of an engraving by the master of the dice after drawings by Michiel Coxcie telling the fable of Psyche. The use of red chalk and wash mediums and the frank use of reserve evoke the works of Schedoni, but attribution to an artist of the previous generation, such as Boccacino, is also possible. In an absolutely perfect state of preservation despite its age.
