An Ecclesiastic (Pope) Blessing a Book before the Sacred College 1580-90 Cesare Nebbia Italian Rendered with the typically stark 'chiaroscuro' modelling of late drawings by this artist, the proposed oblong composition sketch represents in rather summary form the seated figure of a pope or a cardinal (the mitre is relatively short and ambiguous in shape), surrounded by a sacred College, as he is presented by a monk with a large book.
